How to Remove Brown Spots

• 1). Ask your doctor if you can have a birthmark removed with laser treatment. The lasers used to treat birthmarks are called the Flash Pump Dye and the Q-Switched Ruby. They can completely remove the birthmark.
  
  
• 2). For moles, ask your doctor to use a Ruby laser to remove them. Your doctor may want to biopsy moles if he suspects they are cancerous.
  
  
• 3). For sun spots, also known as solar lentigo (caused by sun damage), use lightening or bleaching creams prescribed by your doctor. Or ask him about laser procedures or chemical peels that can remove these spots. Be sure to always use sunscreen to keep sun spots from reappearing.
  
  
• 4). Treat melasma (brown stains on the face and chest from pregnancy or birth control pills) with topical creams such as glycolic acid peels. Or ask your doctor about the Ruby laser to remove melasma splotches.
  
  

How to Remove Redness

• 1). Ask your doctor if thread veins are your problem. If so, lasers can be used, or a treatment called sclerotherapy where saline solution or a sclerotherapy chemical is injected into the vein to collapse it. For veins on the face and ankles, lasers are the choice treatment.
  
  
• 2). Ask your doctor for an oral antibiotic to treat rosacea, such as tetracycline, doxycycline or minocycline. Also try using a topical antibiotic once or twice a day to reduce the inflammation and redness. For severe cases your doctor may prescribe Accutane, but you will need to be monitored closely on this medicine.
  
  
• 3). Keep a symptom diary to track your symptoms and what you think caused them. This will help you avoid triggers that cause your flare-ups. Avoid exposure to the sun, exertion in windy and cold weather, spicy foods, alcohol and hot beverages to keep rosacea from flaring.
