Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain freckles are small brownish spots over the skin and occurs commonly due to repeated exposure of the sun to sun tanned skin..
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can be done to confirm the diagnosis..
In case if there are freckles you can be first of all advised to limit sun exposure..
Always apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
You can be advised to apply creams containing Hydroquinone over the freckles..
Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin containing preparations are helpful..
You can be advised to apply retinoids containing creams like Adapelene..
Exfoliate your skin twice a week with a gentle scrub..
You can also be advised treatments like Phyotofacial, Microdermaprasion, Lazers, Cryotherapy and chemical peelings..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
