Dark Spots

Dear Firends i have Dark spots on my face and my Fertine level is normal 500.  i went do Dermatologist  butt he say i dnt know about this spots. becouse evry thal patient have this spots in pakistan .

pleas tell me what i do.

Dear Rehman,

The dark spots could be melasma or melanin banding - unrelated to iron.  However, if they are a result of iron concentrated in certain parts of the skin IP6 is very helpful in removing iron from the skin - if it is the case taking IP6 faithfully will bring about a difference very quickly.  Other antioxidants such as resveratrol, green tea extract will also help.  Remember, ferritin is an indirect measure of plasma iron - it may not tell you what your actual iron levels are - especially levels in the organs (the skin being an organ). 

Are you currently using desferal or an oral chelator?  I find that oral chelators quickly remove iron from the skin.  My son's complexion changed 10 fold once he began taking exjade.  


If the spots are melasma, topical vitamin C will help - or changing your diet such for optimal adrenal functioning will be helpful.  

I hope this helps,

Sharmin
