Hi,
According to your history it seems to be related to sun exposure. I don’t think they are harmful. I would recommend you to apply a broad spectrum sunscreen on the sun exposed areas 2-3 times during the day time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
