Right now I m 30 and I have freakles all over my right back, chest and slowly to my right arms. Is this normal? Went to dermatologist and they said that they have not seen anything like it.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Freckles usually increase in number with age.
However a rapid increase may suggest conditions like neurofibromatosis.
It is a progressive disorder with systemic manifestation.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
