Remedy to remove dark spots - #12004

Aasha

I am dealing with these dark spots on my skin and it's becoming a real hassle. A few months ago, I noticed this dark spot on my cheek that just wouldn't go away. At first, I thought maybe it was just a pimple or something, but it just kinda lingered and turned darker over time! I've tried scrubbing harder, thinking that maybe I just need to exfoliate more, but all that did was irritated my skin. I went to a dermatologist who asked me if I’ve been using any sun protection, and I confessed that I kinda slacked on that. He mentioned a potential "remedy to remove dark spots" but didn't really get into specifics. Now I’m getting more spots and it's just so frustrating because I feel like I’m doing everything wrong. I read online that some natural remedies could help too, but I dunno, do they actually work? Like, has anyone found a legit remedy to remove dark spots that doesn’t take forever? And those creams with hydroquinone? Are they safe for long term use? Honestly, I'm starting to feel hopeless about it. Just looking for some solid advice on what’s the best remedy to remove dark spots or if it's just something I have to accept. Thanks!
