Yep, I think we all get them. I have a few myself on my face. So far they are minor enough I can cover them with makeup if I feel like it.
Apparently there ARE things we can do to clear them up, most of which involve time, money and medical intervention. Here's
one site I found that discusses them a bit. i have no connection to the developers of this site and make nothing from sharing the site. Hopefully the info on it is useful, Di.
The docs on the site DO suggest a doctor look at your spots to assure they are not cancerous, however. Here's what they said:
The most important thing if you see any pigmented lesion on your skin is to not assume that it’s benign. If you notice a lesion on your skin, especially if it has any changes in color or shape, you should see a dermatologist to determine if they are cancerous or something to be concerned about.
You may need to have a biopsy performed to determine if the lesion is benign or not. Once the doctor has determined that it is benign, there are a variety of lasers that can be used to improve or remove it.
