Selenium
★★★★★
Age spots: Per Joel Wollack who wrote Dead Doctors Don't Lie, 200-250mcg. selenium daily will erase them. Mine on arms have greatly diminished and I hope to soon see them totally gone.

I also saw Dr. Wallach. He is amazing. I did not know about selenium erasing age spots, but I took it for something else. I had 2 age spots just below my eyebrow and 2 on my face. The eyebrow ones are gone and the 2 on my face are less in size. I do not notice any diminishing on others parts of the body.. I have pink age spots that look like liver spots but pink. Does anyone have these and do they become brown? They are flat and not raised.
Tanning Bed Skin Damage Remedies
About a year ago, I began using a tanning bed pretty regularly - I ended up with about 30 sessions in about 4 months. I spent a lot of that time without wearing the goggles out of fear that it would leave a tan line. After about 2 months I began seeing what resembles a tan line from goggles but a nurse practitioner told me it was from having collared eyes. The nurse pract. And an actual dermatologist both said they will be there for life - the NP said the burn was from busted capillaries and the Derm said it was vascular.
*I also began running a lot around this time, and it did snow a lot at first when ran. So the running in the snow may have casued sun damage
IN MORE DETAIL: the burn is just below & between my eyes, with the outline of it resembling the goggles kinda. The inside corners of my eyes are white as can be and never tan now, and my burn is getting worse gradually - more red and bigger, with darker spots popping up. The top corners of my nose between my eyes are the worst spots. Please help!! - I cannot not even focus in conversation now and have developed a stutter/stammer, and my friends think I have ADD b/c I lose focus in conversation ALL THE TIME from wondering if they are staring at my burn. It is causing a lot of insecurty in me but it is warranted since people are in fact looking at the burn when talking to me. And who can blame them - its right around the corners of my eyes.
Any ideas? Would definitely liketo hear from tanning bed users. Surgery, topical treatment, whatever will be helpful would be most appreciated.
Also I have only tried a Garnier Dark Spot Corrector and Olay SPF defense at the recommendation of the Derm. & NP respectively. *The NP and derm. worked at different locations.

Use fresh Aloe Vera and D Alpha Tocopherol (vitamin E) topically. Can take vitamin E internally to help speed healing. If possible you can tape a small piece of Aloe Vera over damaged skin and sleep with it in place. Sorry to hear of damage, speedily heal!

First remedy is your own urine by soaking a cloth and covering the burns. You have an antibody in your own medicine that will also prevent scars.
Second medicine: soak a cloth with a solution of turmeric and water one to twenty in strength and keep on the affected parts. Drinking turmeric in whey powder/water may be with honey will work from the inside. It will work but remember, in nature things seldom perform instantly just as it takes a rose to unfold for instance.
Another good remedy is aloe vera if your skin is not dry to begin with. Good luck. Regards, Om

For tanning bed burns, I have seen pictures of Emu Oil treatment where people with discoloration on their face whether from burning from tanning salons, or even birth discoloration faded away in time progressed pictures. It will take time, Emu oil in good amounts needs to be rubbed in well to the area. It could be irritating if it goes into the eyes though. It penetrates deep, several layers into the skin. Its also used for burns, sunburn, chafing, insect bites, bee stings, also for skin moisturizer and many more. I carry it in my purse whereever I go for tons of uses. It is a good carrier oil for other skin treatments as it will drive treatment deeper into the skin layers.
Wasabi + Iodine
★★★★★
Wasabi and iodine for dark spots: I washed, then placed a dab of cheap store bought wasabi paste on the dark spots, 30 minutes later wiped it off and put a drop of 5% Lugol's over the spots and left it to dry. It stings a little. A day or two later the spots peeled off, pink underneath. Some have returned and are getting retreated. I applied wasabi all over my cleaned face. It stung and made my eyes water so I washed it off pretty quick. A day or two later my freckled face exfoliated and looked much lighter colored. I also applied green tea, crushed tomato and fresh aloe vera gel at times through all this, but the wasabi and iodine had the most dramatic effect.
