I am 75 yrs. old and have large brown spots on my face. Is there a way to diminish these spots or have them removed entirely?

I saw on a tv show where the hosts are all doctors that dabbing the spots with vinegar helps fade the spots.

The cheapest way to get rid of brown spots on your skin is to rub caster oil on them. I don't know why it works, but it does.

I use to sail a lot & have brown spots too. I use scrubbing grains everyday (like salt/sugar scrubs).I use it on my neck too. It took a long time, but eventually the brown spots & some wrinkles are leaving. My neck had gotten saggy & it has helped that too. I also use a handheld device with a brush on it that is battery powered. I add the scrub grains to it. It took 3-4 months before I noticed a change, but it is worth it. Good luck!

It's not that expensive to have a little laser work done, just on the spots and not the whole face.

I went to a plastic surgeon and had a laser peel. I am glad I did.

Sunscreen, yes! Once your spots lighten up, keep up the sun protection to keep them gone for good. Sunglasses and a 5" wide hat brim + suncreen have kept my 53 year old face nearly spot free.

I got these same dark patches on my face as soon as I started menopause. Mine get worse when I go into the sun so I always use sunscreen. Go to any Walgreens or any quality drug store & talk to the salesperson in the cosmetics area. There are many products that can lighten these spots. My daughter reads fashion magazines & has given me articles from them on diminishing these spots. I'll get back to you with the exact products. Creams containing hydroquinone are bleaching creams, hydroquinone has been used for this purpose for many years. One thing you can do is go into the area where they sell the "Ethnic" products that are mostly for African Americans & buy some of the "lightening cream" & put this only on the area where your spots are.

HERE'S A GOOD ARTICLE:

Here is an article on what dermatologists can do:
* But these are all WAY to pricey!

Here's another less expensive treatment "Retin-A" & vitamins:
