How to get rid of sebaceous keratosis? - #35016
How to get rid of sebaceous keratosis (age spots) & skin tags? It’s genetic & runs in the family. I see my aunties with age spots on their faces. An aunt got rid of them by laser but they came back after a year. I’m Asian but have freckles but Freckles don’t bother me. Is there any skincare to get rid of age spots & skin tags naturally? Or some herbs to consume? Thanks.
