What Do Tiny Black Spots On The Face And Neck Indicate?
There are tons of tiny black spots that are appearing all over my body, especially my face and neck. my grandmother had them. They are itching like crazy. How can 1) I stop the itching, and 2) get rid of these spots. I used to have a dermatologist when I was younger who removed some larger ones with laser. He s since retired and I can t find another dermatologist who ll use that procedure.

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, these can be melasmas or moles and may need laser removal as you mentioned. Other possibilities should be ruled out after a dermatologist review. Occasionally using anti histamines like Cetrizine or Loratidine can be helpful for itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
