Are the spots on your face melasma, sunspots, age spots, or skin cancer? Want to use laser treatment to remove them, but worry about post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)? Chen Junru from Taiwan Jinghe Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Clinic shared the 10-day experience that helped her father remove a large age spot on his face.
Ms. Chen said her nearly 80-year-old father has a habit of exercising outside, but he never likes to put on sunscreen. Over time, he’s developed several different-sized age spots. On an unrelated note, she prescribed some Chinese herbs for her father to speed up his intestinal motility, enhance metabolic function, and strengthen his organ function. After 10 days of this treatment, however, the most prominent spot on his face was removed, demonstrating that treatment meant to nourish the insides also affects the body’s exterior.
