IM A AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN WHO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A SUNSPOT ON MY RIGHT TEMPLE 2 YEARS AGO, IM TIRED OF TRYING TO FIND MAKEUPS TO COVER IT UP AND SINCE I SWEAT ALOT AND SWIM ALOT, IM CONSTANTLY APPLYING IT AND IM VERY SELF CONSCIOUS OF IT. I HAVE A WHITE SPOT ON A BROWN FACE, THAT IS NOT CUTE. DO I HAVE TO JUST SUCK IT UP AND LIVE WITH IT EVEN THOUGH IM NOT HAPPY WITH IT OR WILL THIS SOMEWHAT HELP ME OUT? OH BY THE WAY, I ALREADY BEEN TOT HE DERMATOLOGIST AND WAS ON 4 DIFFERENT CREAMS AND NOTHING WORKED. PLEASE HELPIS THIS PRODUCT ';Equate: Antifungal Cream'; GOOD FOR SUNSPOTS AS I WAS TOLD, SINCE IT IS A SORT OF FUNGUS?
Here is some info I found that may also work for you. The shampoo they are talking about is also known as Selsun Blue.
My little brother used to get this condition when he was little- but we are not dark skinned- so it didn't stand out really bad. My Mom had to always put this prescription lotion on him- but this Dandruff Shampoo will also work.
Over-the-counter dandruff shampoos containing 1 percent selenium sulfide often will cure sunspots caused by fungal infections. You apply a bit of the shampoo to the affected area before bedtime, even areas other than the scalp. Leave it on overnight and wash it off in the morning. Treatment usually takes three to four days. If you have sensitive skin or if the shampoo irritates your skin with overnight use, try washing it off after 20 minutes to one hour. Note that even if treatment kills the fungus, your skin may not look normal again in color for many months.
If a selenium shampoo doesn鈥檛 help, consider using Nizoral A-D, a popular antidandruff shampoo that contains ketoconazole, an antifungal drug. Once available only by prescription, this shampoo is now available over the counter as Nizoral A-D 1%. You can also try over-the-counter antifungal creams containing clotrimazole (brand names Lotrimin AF and Mycelex) for these infections. They鈥檙e usually applied twice a day
