the active ingredient that fades scars and spotsBirthmarks - pigmented Liver spots Measles, koplik spots - close-up Mongolian blue spots is 'hydro- quionine'. not sure if that is spelled correctly, but you can get it from the doc, over the counter, and it may be in skin creams like the one you mentioned. avon carries it too. it is about one of the only medical ingredients that can fade spots.
NOT to scare you (and when you are pregnant everything seems heightened and scarier) but did you know that melanoma (skin cancer) is the leading cause of cancer death among women ages 25-29. This year alone, about 7,800 men and women in the United States will die of skin cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. Melanoma is now second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer in women ages 30-34.
Please, as you said, don't forget to show your doctor! It worries me that you said it has gotten bigger and darker.
I've gotten more freckles recently, and I just bought a fade cream called Ambia (I think). I'll look at it tonight. I'll let you know in 2 months if it's worked (that's how long it's supposed to take)!!!
MariAAB, fade cream claims to lighten scars as well. I really don't know for sure, though. I THINK I'm starting to notice a SLIGHT lightening of my freckles. I say "I think" because I'm not sure if I'm imagining things or not. ha ha.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE ,please i recently had chicken pox and i need recommendation on the type of cream to use to help me do away with the spots.your advice will be greatly appreciated. thanks
I am delighted to find an established skin care company that understands the fundamentals of skin aging and how to treat it. FARMEC (aslaskin,, their US distributor) is a Romanian cosmetics company and has been around for 60 years. This is the original formula and the quality is great!!
i have had spots on my skin from since a tender age and tried every cream possible i am starting to consider laser NOW i need to find at least on more cream i could try to get rid of these spots.
Anything you put on your skin is absorbed into your system. Don't put anything on your skin while you are pregnant!
