hi I'm dr. Shweta sunny Paul I work at
dr. Sahni Medical Center as a consultant
dermatologist and cosmetologist in
Ballon d'Or Bangla freckles are a normal
variant of skin tone it's usually seen
in more fair-skinned or races but it's
seen in all races across one should
understand that these are clusters of
melanin producing cells or pigment
producing cells that are normal in
number but the amount of melanin it
produces is more in certain areas on the
skin so it looks like flex or specks of
pigment on the skin it is a normal
change there is no risk of cancer or
anything like that
but it does get aggravated by sun
exposure because once the UV rays hit
these cells they are stimulated and once
they are stimulated they produce more
pigment so a good sunscreen is mandatory
if someone is concerned about the
cosmetic appearance of these freckles we
do have other treatments as well such as
cosmetic peels to a certain extent they
do help but always prevention with the
sunscreen is the best treatment and if
they are resistant to even these regular
basic treatments we can go in for a
laser we usually use a q-switched ND a
glazier to target these cells and to a
certain extent we eliminate the cell
itself so the capacity to produce
pigment is less and also another option
for some people who don't want to go in
for a treatment is camouflage we can
actually give you know a cosmetic option
for these patients where it's a sort of
foundation but a more long-lasting
Foundation which is more resistant to
wiping off or you know or even sweat so
these are the various options available
for freckles so it's just a cosmetic
problem if the patient is concerned we
give them these options
you
