Several creams are used to treat sun spots (solar lentigines or solar keratoses). The specific cream prescribed often depends on the location and extent of the sun damage.
-
Efudix cream (fluorouracil): This cream is often used for sun spots covering a larger area, such as the entire face or segments of it. Treatment with Efudix can cause moderate inflammation for up to three weeks.
-
Picato gel (ingenol mebutate) and Aldara (imiquimod): These are suitable for localized areas of sun damage, for example, sunspots confined to the nose.
It is crucial to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most appropriate treatment cream for your specific condition. They can assess your skin and provide personalized recommendations.
