I'm suddenly getting slight acne..more usual. seems like i'm getting more freckles too. what could be the cause?

Usually no answer: Acne flares seldom have any identifiable trigger. You simply need to manage the illness. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your physician. Use a sunscreen as a matter of general health, especially if you don't like the freckles; many people enjoy them but it's your personal preference.
