age spots
Does anyone know how to get rid of age spots? Can't afford expensive surgery so need something I can do at home. Yes, they are AGE SPOTS not cancer - I checked with my family MD. But she didn't give me any tips on how to get rid of them (I forgot to ask). They're on my face, small but what can I say... vanity!
I am a senior citizen. I HAD two spots, one on each temple. The right was as big as a penny and almost as intense in colour. The left was almost as big as a dime and less intense in colour. I looked like I had undergone electric shock therapy with the electrodes leaving a mark ;-).
For some reason, I got into the habit of dabbing aloe vera on each mark after every shower, and sometimes in the middle of the day when I was washing up. On a rare occasion, I dabbed them with a little peroxide solution if my wife's bottle was in plain view.
This did NOT happen overnight; it took the best part of two years. On the other hand, the amount of $$$ invested never exceeded $10 in total and the progress I noticed in the diminishing sizes and intensity of the spots kept me going. One disappeared about three months ago, the other last month. I don't endorse any particular brand name but the aloe vera gel I used came in a huge bottle with a handy plunger and I think I got it at the grocery store pharmacy. Good Luck !
