Anyone have a good solution to treating "age spots" on hands. I worked for a dermatologist years ago and he had an Rx he prescribed. Don't remember what it was, but was thinking that there might be something over the counter these days. So many items that were Rx only are now on the open market. My hands are getting so "aged"!

I believe I read recently that peroxide lightened age spots. I work in my garden a lot & therefore do a lot of hand washing. Somehow I seem to wash the age spots from my hands in the summertime. Or, maybe they are just not as noticable with a bit of tan.

I remember one of my daughters getting rid of some freckles with lemon juice. We have a big lemon tree in the back yard, and for several months after she began to notice boys, we had a lot of lemons on the counter where she harvested them often.
Haven't thought of that in years, I just may try some myself on my hands.
