Wish I have a partner but I feel so insecure to even try to find one because my skin spots on body doesn't seem to fade

@ABCDEF7 idk....maybe melasma or something else. they are not due to pimples

@sahi81 I found No-scars cream better than mederma.

@ABCDEF7 are you a skin doctor in real life.

@sahi81 No, I am sharing my personal experience.

@ABCDEF7 I don't think they are melesma, they look like freckles but bigger size

@sahi81 These seems to be old marks or from birth. These creams work well for recent marks. Can't say how much it will be effective, but you can try it.

You may delete the pic now.

@ABCDEF7 they are old marks, i got them when i was 18. I am right now using creams what doctor told me to use since 16 days or something... no change.. maybe they might take long to fade.. Doctor 1st gave me skin lightening cream which have no effect, later gave me some infection or fungus related creams suspecting that it increases when i sweat a lot. They could be due to any immunity issues since i am underweight. Maybe i should go to doctor who treats immunity issues and also i am trying to eat well.

@sahi81 If the new marks are not appearing now, means it has nothing to do with any infection if you may had.

Skin lightening cream doesn't work, and those scar removal creams only work for recent scars, sometimes they may work after using for long time(1 - 3 months).

It's better to know the cause, if we want to remove the root cause. It's always good to have good immunity and healthy body with correct weight.

@ABCDEF7 New marks do appear now too in rare occasions... they appear when i sweat a lot, i try to take small baths without soap when i sweat a lot and i bath daily. They appeared when i was 18 in summer , i was depressed back then and didn't take baths or eat well daily.

How to know the root cause?

@sahi81 There are two ways, either symptomatically or through tests. For symptomatically you have to recall what all different went when those spots surfaced. And then have to analyse with help of an experienced specialist doctor. You can even do some research on internet.

For tests, a dermatologist would be able to tell better.

@ABCDEF7 the dermatologist might only recommend tests only if nothing else he gives works... Rn I'm seeking a skin doctor

@sahi81 How are skin doctors different from dermatologists?

Have you tried natural remedies?

@ABCDEF7 idk.. they might both be same ..I tried turmeric. Didn't work.

@sahi81 Turmeric is not meant for skin lightening or dark spots removal.
