liver spots on hands

[tillyh345]

Is there anything to prevent u getting these? what causes them..Im coming up to 50 and have noticed that recently they seem to have appeared.

[Sqad]

No.

[boxtops]

They are also called age spots tilly, I have 'em too!

[tillyh345]

Oh well thats that then just something else to p*** me off about getting old, is there anything good about aging!

[Sqad]

tilly.....NOTHING

[tamborine]

I find being older than my circle great....I'm the boss ;)

[sara3]

yes, you can be rude to people and (possibly) get away with it ;o)

[DEN53]

Liz Earle's hand cream is great and apparently does help to prevent these.

[boxtops]

Yes tilly, you know more than you did, and you can say "when I was a young person things were different..." and you don't care quite so much what people think. Purple Hat syndrome applies!

[tamborine]

liver spots - I had them but they've gone.....probably me into 2nd childhood, or sustenance diet.

[Sqad]

sara....what a surprise, I have never heard you utter those words of experience before.

[boxtops]

Get your Purple Hat, sara!

[tillyh345]

I have alway been known to say what I think whatever my age, thats one reason why my sil has fell out with me bcos I said I didnt like her car when she asked me if I did...cant undestandy y if someone ask you cant tell the truth I would rather that than say yes its lovely and then bhind her back says its awful which is what the rest of the family did!

tilly use a handcream with added sun protection (neutrogena do one) or rub some sunblock on after using your preferred cream.

[Wak]

I think that getting older is far better than the alternative!!! so mustn't grumble, must we??

[Prudie]

There was always a cream you could for this called Fade-out I think but have no idea if it worked

[sara3]

was Sqad being rude to me? I really don't know..

If you're a film star, Tilly, (or someone else with plenty of both money & vanity) liver spots can be removed with cryotherapy (freezing them with liquid nitrogen) or with laser treatment. Lesser mortals just have to put up with them.
