Age spots / brown patches
Hello - I have 2 brown patches (sometimes referred to as age spots I think) on my face. One is on my cheek and the other above my eyebrow. I can't really remember when they appeared but I've had them a few years. When i go in the the sun, they get darker and tend to show up more. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them as I'm a little self-conscious? If I stay out of the sun will this help or am I stuck with these patches.
May thanks.

Re: Age spots / brown patches
Hello, I'm afraid these brown spots will not go away.
I suggest that you apply a sunblock and wear a wide brim hat when going out into the sunshine to avoid further sun damage to your face.
If you feel they are larger in size, changing shape and/or pigmented(having more than one shade of black or brown) then you may wish to contact your GP for further assessment.
