Hi, I have freckles over my right chin, neck part. I have been experiencing these freckles, since very small age. Please some good treatment. Although, I have been taking homeopathic medicine (NM 30). Also, is it possible to remove freckles permanently?

Several safe methods are available to help lighten or reduce the appearance of freckles. Frequently, multiple or a combination of treatments may be required for best results. Not everyone's skin will improve with similar treatments, and freckles can often recur with repeated uv exposures. Bleaching or fading creams: products containing hydroquinone and kojic acid can be purchased with and without a prescription. Higher concentrations of hydroquinone (over 2%) require a prescription. These products can help lighten freckles if they are applied consistently over a period of months. Bleaching or fading creams are most effective in combination with sun avoidance and sun protection. Retinoids: sometimes used in conjunction with other bleaching creams, tretinoin (vitamin a acid, retin-a), tazarotene (tazorac), and adapalene (differin) also may help lighten freckles when applied consistently over a period of several months. Cryosurgery: a light freeze with liquid nitrogen in the physician's office can be used to treat some types of freckles. Not all spots respond to this form of therapy. Laser treatment: multiple types of lasers may help lighten and decrease the appearance of freckles safely and effectively. Like cryosurgery, this is a simple and safe procedure with a high success rate and a low risk of scarring or skin discoloration.
