I use this stuff called Retin-A on my face. It naturally exfoliates your skin. It has gotten rid of ALL the discoloration, blemishes, everything on my face. My face is now silky smooth, like a baby's bottom. My dermo said that you can also use Retin-A anywhere on your body that has discoloration. I had a friend that used it on her stretch marks. I think it would work wonders on the backs of your hands. It's worth talking to your doctor about, anyway. If you are willing to try a prescription, your dermatologist will most likely have something that will work better than anything over-the-counter.

At one time wasn't there a lot of controversy over Retin-A? I just can't remember..happens when ya get older ya know.. Sometime about cancer? I don't have roseoli (sp), but I do have (just like my dad did) where these little red vein type things show on my cheeks. Would it help that? And you can only get it from your doctor?

Yes, I know for sure you can get the Rosecea lasered off. My friend has severe Rosecea and that is what she does for hers.

Are you talking about Rosacea? I am almost positive that I have mild Rosacea They have some out with A LOT of stuff for Rosacea in the past few years. I was put on this cleanser called Plexion that dramatically helped. Here is a link to it:

I think the Retin-A is also helping a whole lot! My face no longer gets red and flushed. I am telling you...this Retin-A stuff is a miracle! I love it!

And, I've never heard of any controversy over Retin-A. I have searched all over the Internet for info on it, and as far as I know, it is completely safe. It is even sold on the black market because so many women try to get their hands on it to get rid of wrinkles. It is that good.

Yes That is exactly what I meant!! I am going to have to try and get the Retin-A. I don't know if you can tell exactly by looking at my picture in the other thread, but it looks a little red, but upon closer look in the mirror there are these little red blood vessel type things, very tiny, but a lot of them. I will be talking with my Dr. in the next week or two so I will ask him about it.

Try a product called 5 Minute Manicure.

I posted this product on the body scrub thread... it's a salt mixed with oils and essential oils. I LOVE the way it makes my hands feel and smell. The only down side is the oil that it leaves in the sink...
