This is what I have on my face and I have never been pregnant so I dont think this only effects women with chidren..Im darker than both of them so imagine how bad mine looks..sometimes it goes away and my face is clear of it and then it comes back and I DESPISE THE SUN BECAUSE OF IT..

[neromeads]

anyone know what brand of make-up/ foundation she uses?

mlee2001 - also use SPF every day; I have had luck with Retin A Micro and 25% Mandelic acid peels from Makeup Artists Choice

@mlee2001 actually depending on where you live its mostly available for online purchase :)

[mlee2001]

@LavKiri Thank you, I will try it if i can find it.

@mlee2001 use dermablend, its for both gender use, is amazing coverup and doesnt even look like youre wearing makeup. its made especially for skin issues.

[mlee2001]

At least you ladies can cover it somewhat with makeup. Im lucky to be one of the 10% of middle age guys to get this and im very vain,so its almost like a death sentence. plus im still single,so no luck no ever finding someone who can deal with this shit. I may as well be dead

@ESBEAUTII I know how you feel. Im a man of 43 just diagnosed with this and its hard to believe the sun is my enemy. When they say stay out of the sun it seems impossible because its the sun ya know? I do sales as a job and this makes me so unconfident its incredible. Im usuing 4% hydroquinone just started treatment last week and 110 sunscreen but its still sucks. Keep your head up,and we'll get through this.-:)

Using the pill & especially in combination with tanning usually does this..go off both and your skin clears up..good luck..
