Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern.
Freckles are small flat brown marks arising on the face and other sun exposed areas. Skin pigment (melanin) is made by cells called melanocytes. Excess exposure to sun rays or UV rays trigger the melanocutes to produce excess melanin which causes freckles .
The are non cancerous , harmless and can be easily treatable .
Your doctor has prescribed the right treatment .
Kojic acid in gel is extract of mushroom and very safe .
gycol and photoban are also very effective for freckles .
But you must take the advice of expert or dermatologist for there duration of use , because it depends upon the severity of the condition .
Also use lip balm on lips and start taking vitamin C supplement .
Give cold compresses to the affected area twice a day .
Applying raw honey for 15 min twice a day and then washing face with cold water will also very beneficial .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
