Q: I have sun damage/spots from many years spent lying in the sun during my youth. What is the best treatment for removing or minimizing sun spots?

A) First of al those spots should be checked to make sure they are benign, or not dangerous, or other forms of pigmentation like melasma. If they are just brown spots form the sun then there are some options available in treating them. If it is excess pigment like that seen in melasma some skin belaching creams may help.
