Aloe vs. Dark marks

Aloe Vera Guide Replies Aloe vera has been successfuly used to treat this type of problem referred to as hyperpigmentation. In his in excellent book Aloe Vera in The New Millennium Bill C Coates details how aloe was successfuly used to completely eliminate facial discolouration. Documented in his work is the story of a young girl left with abraisons, scrapes and burns on her face as the result of an accident. In an effort to try to speed up the healing process to her face she ventured out into the sun and ended up with large brown spots on the newly forming skin which refused to fade despite her best attempts. Panicking at this reaction she visited a plastic surgeon who provided her with medication which turned the brown spots black instead. After visiting four further plastic surgeons who all told her there was nothing to be done and she would have to learn to live with her black spots, she went to see a dermatologist who referred her to a specialist in skin pigmentation problems. The pigmentation specialist put the young woman on a daily skin care regime incorporating the use of aloe vera. For 30 days religiously the young woman applied a good quality aloe cleanser, an aloe mist, aloe gel and a hyperpigmentation cream to the black spots on her face and much to the astonishment of some doubters the marks faded away completely.
