Hi,

I read history and I deeply feel that you may be having freckles.

I would like to say few things about freckles.....

-Freckles are small flat brown marks arising on the face and other sun exposed areas.
-They are most often seen in fair skinned people,sometimes affects darker skin types as well.
-The colour of freckles is due to localised accumulation of melanin in keratinocytes.
-Freckle are more prominent in summer but fade considerably or disappear in winter as the keratinocytes are replaced by new cells.
-They may appear on people as young as 1 or 2 years of age.

Since freckles are almost always harmless,no treatment is required. It is best to avoid the sun as much as possible. You may use a sunscreen with SPF 50.If you wish, you may go for treatment... I would like to give few hints related to treatment of freckles...
-You may apply tretinoin gel 0.012% on freckles daily at night. It is helpful to fade the color of freckles as it normalises the pigmentation in the skin. Bleaching cream should be avoided as it may reduce the color of surrounding skin also, so the look might worsen.
-Another, more extreme method of getting rid of freckles is cryosurgery, in which a doctor uses liquid nitrogen to freeze them off.
-Other methods of treatment of freckles are laser treatments, photofacials, chemical peels and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy.

You consult dermatologist and discuss about more suitable mode of treatment for you and then have treatment.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
