A member asked:

Can face that is damaged/scarred and slighty darkened over years of sun exposure be cured? what are the possible options to address this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Unfortunately there is no way to reverse sun damaged skin. You must make sure you see a dermatologist for regular skin checks to make sure there's no cancer.
