Should You See a Dermatologist for Sun Spots?

It's a well-known fact that the sun can cause many types of damage to the skin, including sunburns and wrinkles. But perhaps the most common cosmetic damage that occurs are sunspots. Sunspots are flat brown spots that usually show up on the face, neck, chest or hands. Typically, sunspots are harmless and don't pose much of a health risk. One of the main reasons people remove sunspots is purely for cosmetic purposes.

With that said, do be mindful of the differences between a sunspot and signs of skin cancer caused by the sun. Melanoma is the most high profile case of skin cancer and early signs of melanoma are a new mole or changing the characteristics of an existing mole. These include a change in size, itching or bleeding. If you experience any spot on the skin that is rapidly changing size or shape should be seen by a dermatologist.

If you have sunspots and just can't bare to live with them any longer, dermatologists can prescribe retinols or other creams that will reduce the sunspots. Additionally, there are other procedures, such as the IPL Laser Treatment, offered at Fairlawn Aesthetic M.D. that can also eliminate sunspots. Through the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) we are able to release multiple light-waves down to the second layer of skin where the imperfections are destroyed while being minimally invasive.

Post procedure is very minimal with minor side effects. Regular activity can still continue while the only issues are that of a sunburn. The treated part of the skin will be sensitive for a few days after the procedure.

Sunspots can be a cosmetic eyesore for some. Don't hesitate to get them removed if you feel so inclined. Contact our offices in Ohio to schedule an appointment with Dr. McDaniel today!
