Skin Blemish Removal

I have suffered from GH for about 20 years with frequent but small outbreaks on the waistline just above my buttocks. The outbreaks have left a field of brown blemishes that are very embarrassing. Is there a OTC product that can remover them? What about laser removal? Any ideas?

Have you had those cultured to make sure those are herpes outbreaks? It's an odd place to get them, and herpes outbreaks don't leave brown spots.

Next time you get one, get it cultured right away, and see your doctor about the brown spots. You might try vitamin E on them if they are scars. Vitamin E oil can reduce scars, but make sure it's a scar before treating them.
