Hello,
Welcome back to the forum and thanks for further follow up.
After thoroughly analyzing the picture let me first of all reassure you fully that there is nothing abnormal in your area and these are freckles which are common and normal appearance.
Let me tell some of the points regarding freckles- Our skin is a multi-layered structure divided into epidermis and dermis. This epidermis is again a superficial multilayered structure.
The deepest of the layer of epidermis contains specific cells which are known as melanocytes. These melanocytes are actually the color producing cells which have the tendency to produce color according to its own genetical tendency.
There is a genetical tendency in fair colored individuals to produce higher color at exposed or non-exposed sites. These areas of higher color production forms the specific entity known as freckles.
These are of no significance and are considered to be simple pigmentation which never causes any problem throughout life. So after reading and analyzing all the points your all doubts must be cleared.
“with good health wishes”
