JK - All is well (and content). Thanks for so promptly clarifying the medication mixup for me. The article you attached was thorough and helpful

And again, thanks for the suggestion. I understand it is $100 for a 6 month supply but worth it due to its efficacy.

Since about 1980 I have used Tretinoin (Retin A) cream on both my face and my arms to combat brown or red areas of discoloration. It seems to work by speeding up cell renewal. You may at first see what appears to be a lighter layer of outer skin over the dark spots. I am a Costco member, and their member price is the lowest I have found for Tretinoin, even lower than Good Rx. I also find it helpful to use twice daily a good moisturizer cream on my face and once daily a lotion like Amlactin or CeraVe on my arms and legs.
