Spots On Back, Irritable Mood. Any Suggestions?

My husband is 42 and has lost weight over the last year. He never was a big guy, but he is 6 tall and weighs approximately 165 lbs. I recently notices 5 spots on his back that remind me of age spots. They were not there a few months ago. He has become very irritable lately too. I cannot get him to see a doctor, any suggestions?

Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

Dark spots are due to hyper-pigmentation of the skin due to over exposure to the scorching sun heat, side effect of some medicines like tetracycline, sulphonamide,etc, trauma, post inflammatory wound, infection of the skin and premature aging is also an important factor.

Irritable mood can be due to inadequate water intake, stress, hypertension, diabetes or any other pathology which has not been diagnosed. Help your husband take plenty of soup, juice, water, fruits, berries, green veggies balanced with nutritious home made food. Regular showers, exercise, brisk walk and meditation will help him get cool and relaxed.

To help him get rid of spots, let him eat food rich in antioxidants, vitamin B and E will do him good. The spots can fade away with the help of skin lighteners, pigment reducing agents, skin brighteners, etc. Consult a counselor and a doc to get anti-aging treatment done. Take care.
