A member asked:

What procedure can i go through to remove sun spots from my face? is there a safe option? don't want spots to return. how do i prevent sun spots?

Sun Spots: There are various types of "sun spots", the most common being lentigines. These can be lightened with prescription bleaching agents, and if that fails, with laser treatments. The best prevention is diligent use of sunscreens.
