What Causes Brown Freckles On Face Despite Having Electrocauterization?

i recently had electrocauterization on my face to get rid of my sunspots/brown freckles on my face. A month after, I noticed that I had visible brown spots on the same spots where my face was cauterized. Are these scars and if so, how do i get rid of them.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of brown freckles on face despite having electrocauterization which is because of increased sensitivity of getting pigmented, clogged pores of salivary glands, hormonal changes and due to stress. Due to increased sun exposure and increased sensitivity body is absorbing UV rays of sun and getting pigmented. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cream rich in Azelaic acid or Kojic acid. Use clindamycin gel as well. Apply on face twice daily. It will lighten skin. You can go for home remedy as well. Apply mashed potatoes on these pigments. Apply aloe vera gel it will resolve. apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil to lighten the pigments. You should get hormonal levels monitored to find exact cause and treatment for your condition. Use medicated sunscreen such as Tancare rich in SPF 30. You can visit dermatologist once and can go for chemical peeling or micro abrasion if your symptoms not resolving. Take supplements rich in vitamin C.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
