Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have brown skin and flat, brown irregular, disc-like freckles on both sides of my face and the cheek area. How do I get rid of it or lighten it significantly? My face looks horrible, and I am also losing my self-confidence. Will peels help? If yes, what kind of peel should I get done?
Will photofacial be beneficial, or is it not meant for darker skin tones? I have been to a few laser centers, and they said they do not have lasers for darker skin. Do home remedies like lemon juice will help? What should I do?
Please advise. I can send pictures as well.
Thanks.
