It is possible: Any topical medicine that is supposed to fade brown spots will work slowly. The 30 spf is to reduce the chances of sun exposure making them darker (and to protect you from skin cancer). If these spots are from acne then you should see a dermatologist to address this.

See dermatologist.: Excessive drinking as well as smoking is not good for anybody's overall health, but you might have some skin problem @ excessive sunlight exposure over the past several years. This problem can be addressed by your dermatologist.

Question 10

black tiny spot on my small toenail. i cut the nail portion off and dark spot came off with the nail. but left a pinkish wound on the skin. wat is it?

Accepted Answer

Open vs closed sore: Somehow the skin was injured. It bled and that is why the nail had a dark spot. It was just blood. If the pink spot is still draining, you have a small ulcer that needs topical antibiotic and band aid. If there is no drainage, it is new skin and healing.
