Question : i have a freckles on my cheeks from past 1 year(which might be due to sunburn or lack of nutrition. ) .I always use sunscreen and take good diet . i use all the home remedies for this. but i am facing this problem for past 1 year.Please suggest something which is beneficial for me.
Brief Answer:
Need to get them removed
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Certain skin types are very pre disposed to develop freckles .
These lesions increase on exposure to sunlight,so it is very important to regularly use a medicated sunscreen every time before going out in the sun .
As far as the treatment of these is concerned, topical drugs alone cannot cure them completely but can only cause a temporary lightening of these .
The effective treatment of these is to get them removed by cautery or radiofrequency or laser removal .
Hope it helps
