Hello doctor,
Two years ago, I got some four or five black dots on my face, which looked like moles. But, I think it is spreading. The count is now 30 to 40. What can I do? Can you please suggest any treatment or medicine? Please note that my skin type is oily, and my mom also has this problem.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- From your description, I think they could be freckles. Do send me images of the same, so I can confirm my diagnosis. Freckles or ephelides are common in individuals who sunburn easily and do not tan, whereas it is uncommon among people who are dark complexioned.
- I suggest trying 30 % Trichloroacetic acid cautery (TCA) or topical treatment with Depiwhite cream (combination of Hydroquinone and Kojic acid). It can be applied every night for 16 weeks.
- Follow certain sun protection measures like:
- Avoid midday sun, especially from 10 AM to 4 PM.
- Seek shade whenever possible.
- Wear broad-brimmed hats.
- Apply Suncros soft gel sunscreen with SPF 50 over the face in the morning. Repeat every four hours.
