Age Spots: Treatment Options And Prevention
January 10, 2009
It is a fact that as we get older, everything about us seems to age and this includes our skin. As we age, our skin can produce lentigos or, as we call them, age spots. They generally show up on your hands, face and even your back.
The spots are caused from many different things, some of which include our behavior from when we were young. These include, but are not limited to, some of the foods that we eat, such as parsley, limes and parsnips, as well as too much sun and no sunscreen. This does include tanning. You also have to beware of some lotions that have musk or an oil called bergamot. Certain medications can also be a trigger.
There are some preventative measures that you can take in order to keep age spots at bay. It is important to wear sunscreen at all times. Be sure that each time you go swimming or if you are outdoors and sweating, that you re-apply the sunscreen often. This even includes after you wash your hands. You also want to choose your clothing wisely so that you get proper protection from the sun. Going tanning at a salon is also a bad thing. If you are wearing perfume during the day, apply it where the sun cannot touch it, and the same with your lotion as well.
Other methods that you can use to try to get rid of age spots are bleaching creams, fading or medicated creams, chemical peels, camouflage makeup, cryotherapy and laser therapy. As you can see, most of these treatments are an over the counter remedy or a prescription that you can do at home.
If you are unsure of what procedure that you should follow, speak with your dermatologist and they will be able to recommend a product that you can use. They will also be able to let you know if you should use a different method to be rid of the age spots. It will all depend on how severe they are and the placement of them.
