Removing brown spots from face.

@stellachk13 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! If that is the advice your dermatologist gave you, please follow that. Did they tell you what the brown spots were?

Agree with Ginger. Got to follow your dermatologist directions. They have seen you and determined what your skin spots are and what is best for you and did treatment.

When you say "removed" what do you mean. Do you mean "cold" burn off, surgery, etc.? I have tons of brown spots. The usually don't treat them unless large (high and irritated), bother you, rub your clothing, bleed, as basically call them age spots. Some people call them liver spots but has nothing to do with liver. It is just age, pigment damage, sun damage.

I have them burned off all the time. I say burn off but they don't fall off they destroy the skin and the skin replaces itself and usually much lighter or gone.

It depends on the technique that was used. No problem with that aftercare.
Sunny season can at times cause darkening in the healing phase afterwards.
Ask their office how soon to resume sunscreen on those areas to prevent
redarkening.

If it was liquid nitrogen on age spots, no creams because they all have multiple chemicals added. Aquaphor is helpful as it protects and draws moisture to the area.

Agree they use nitrogen to burn off age spots. I was also like you advised to use Aquaphor versus Vaseline as it was even better to use when have burn offs and surgeries.
