My very normal looking freckles often swell and itch. When they swell they look like a mole, round and dark, and itch like a mosquito bite. The next day they're back to a normal freckle. Sometimes just one freckle and sometimes many of them. It does happen only to the larger freckles but not consistently to one and not the others. I had one biopsied once and it was cleared of any medical concerns. Just want to know what causes it in hopes of avoiding triggers as it is so irritating.
sunlight is culprit.Avoid sunlight exposure.Apply sunscreen spf>30 daily two time morning n evening.If they swell then apply hydrcortisone 1% at bed time.
