While I was pregnant I developed freckle like spots
Posted by: Dr. Thomas Wright : Category: Cosmetic Derm
The freckles on my face multiplied and have now formed what looks like a very large freckle, while I was pregnant, and it didn’t go away. What is this and is there anything I can do?
What you are describing sounds like melasma which is an unique pigment condition that is hormone driven. Melasma once activated is unfortunately not curable and can only be controlled. Lasers such as the Fraxel refine can be beneficial up to a certain point but they do run the risk of increasing the pigment. You can try Cosmalan which bleaches the pigment or other bleaching agents that contain Hydroquinone.
