I am a frequent tanner and I always deal with sun spots. I have an anti fungal cream I use that i bought from my tanning salon for about eight dollars a bottle. It works. I was told that a sun spot is a form of fungus but how true that is I really don't know. That type cream works though. Twice a day for about two weeks normally gets rid of my spots. Hope this helps.
