How to get rid of spots on face? - #11809

Reet

I am dealing with an annoying issue here. For the last few months, I’ve noticed these stubborn spots on my face that just won’t go away. It started after I changed my skincare routine thinking it would help me with some acne I had during my teenage years. I switched to new products, and I guess my skin didn’t like it because that’s when all these spots started popping up, ugh. I’ve tried some over-the-counter creams and even a few home remedies like lemon juice and honey but nothing seems to work long-term. Do any of you know how to get rid of spots on face? I mean, should I be looking into professional treatments or is there something I can do at home that’s actually effective? I also read somewhere that diet plays a role; like, could what I'm eating be makin it worse? It feels like I’ve tried everything, yet these spots just hang around stubbornly! And like, what about exfoliation? Too much, too little? I am not sure anymore and feeling kinda desperate, haha. Would love to hear if anyone has had success with this and maybe what steps you took to get rid of those darn spots on your face! Appreciate any tips!!

Doctors' responses

When dealing with persistent spots on the face, especially if they appeared after changing your skincare routine, you might be experiencing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or irritation from the new products. It’s important to first pinpoint if any product in your current routine could be causing irritation. Check if they contain strong active ingredients like retinoids or certain acids that your skin might not tolerate well. Simplifying your skincare routine to a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer, and sunscreen can help restore balance. Sunscreen is crucial as it prevents darkening of existing spots by protecting against UV rays. You could also consider using products with ingredients known for lightening dark spots, like vitamin C, niacinamide, or azelaic acid. Be sure to introduce one new product at a time to monitor skin response. In terms of diet, anti-inflammatory foods rich in antioxidants like vegetables and fruits can support skin health, while high-glycemic foods may exacerbate acne in some individuals. Ensure you’re well-hydrated and eating a balanced diet. You mentioned exfoliation - it can be helpful but should be done carefully. Over-exfoliation can irritate the skin and worsen spots, aim for once or twice a week with a gentle exfoliant. If these strategies don’t lead to improvement, it might be worthwhile considering professional treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy, but discuss with a dermatologist first. They can offer tailored advice and check for any underlying skin conditions that might need specialized care.
