Skin Type: Pigment & Complexion > Annoying brown spots

Anything new for brown spots on dorsal hands and face?

IPL. They turn black and fall off. Works great. (Intense Pulsed Light)

01.9 | Unregistered Commenterlcd

Acanthosis nigricans. Supposed to be due to hyperinsulinemia - which is due to insulin resistance. I have seen very few patients get rid of them by improving their insulin sensitivity

Brown spots do not have the same etiology or histology. Sometimes IPL, laser (Q-switched 532nm, 694 nm), fractionated resurfacing, hydroquinones, sometimes a mix, sometimes nothing works. Avoiding further sun exposure is pretty much (almost always) an element in the reduction and elimination of brown spots.

I have a question. I recently noticed some kind of a mole under my tongue. Should anything be done about it? It's approximately 3mm.

02.1 | Unregistered Commentercber

I've heard some doctors use liquid nitrogen to freeze and kill brown spots. Maybe that can help Ella? What is the name of that procedure?

RESPONSE TO LANDO:
Acanthosis Nigricans is a totally different thing and has nothing to do with the lentigenes on the dorsum of hands.
