Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It could be a freckle or lentigene. Both are pigmentary disorders. If it worsens on sun exposure, you could start using sunscreen lotion/cream. Ideally, you must visit your Dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and to initiate the treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
