It May Be Sun Spots

If you are very dark from either natural sun tanning, or tanning beds then it may be sun spots. I have them too but I went to see a dermatoligist about it and she gave me a creme that made them not as visible as they were before. My doctor told me that the pigment in your skin is not as strong as the others so they dont tan like the rest of your skin and it results in white spots...But my best advice is to go see a doctor about it, because it could be no big deal at all, or something serious. Either way you will still get medical help for it...

i have a friend who had this she was dark skinned. i aslo have a sister who is fair skinned and had darker spots on her neck. ts a type of fungus nothing to worry about, many people have it. all you need is a topical cream of some sought from your doctor and it goes away after a while, no tablets or anything.

what kind of spot are you talking about...if your on about actual pimplelike spots then it could be milia..a common condition of the skin. to find out more just write it in google and lots of info comes up...

But if your on about patches...then im not entirely sure...maybe its best to go to the docz just to be safe??
