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.
