I am suffering from what is being said as sun freckles since childhood. I have visited many doctors as well as skin clinic but to no avail. They have suggested that it cannot be cured completely. It is actually small brownish dots near my left eye. My blood reports are normal. And these marks tends to increase in summer. Can you please help me out.I m very worried because the marks are increasing towa irds my cheek also.
Dear Ms.Amropali
Freckles and pigmentations can be taken care by medications and if they dont give results Co2 laser can give good results. Freckles and skin pigmentation occur due to excessive sun exposure and one needs to protect from harmful sun rays.
SPF is a measure of UV-B protection which doesnot cause much of pigmentary problems. In order to protect form tanning , freckles and melasma one must use a sunscreen with UVA protection.
So next time you buy a sunscreen look for UVA protection and not SPF...
Happy Healing
