**myhealth** · 03-24-2011 01:13 AM

Hi,
I am 24 and i have weired brown spots on my forehead and cheeks. I am little fair but these brown spots make me look ugly. I have tried 'eritop', 'garneir pimple roll on' and 'betnovate-c'. None of them helped. These brown spots are because of the pimples which arrived once and left those spots on my face. These are on my face for many months now. Somebody please help me get rid off them. My skin was so much clear when i see my 2yr old photos. But now it looks really very bad. Suggest me some creams or anything which works

Sounds like freckles to me. Or scars, if you picked your spots. Not alot you can do about either.. you could get some foundation if it bothers you alot.

It's the weekend sweetness..... and not everyone knows what causes brown spots.

It is usually passed on in your genes from family...

You can get a dermatologist cream that will help them fade quite dramatically, speak to the local Chemist or better still, see a dermatologist...It is common and you can do something about it...

Going out on a limb here as you can't really diagnose anything without at least pictures to go by, but I'd go to a dermatologist if I were you. There are a couple of things that come to mind that could be causing them. If you can rule out pregnancy -- that gets rid of one. If you are on BC pills they could be the culpret. If they are caused by the BC pill or pregnancy, once you either quit taking the pill or have the child, the brown spots will eventually fade away.

A dermatologist can provide a prescription that will assist in fading these spots - superficially at least. It won't get rid of the underlying problem. BUT, you must first have a definitive diagnosis.

Also, if these are near the eyes, I would caution against any OTC medications or fade creams. They may damage that delicate tissue and/or cause irritation to your eyes.
