A member asked:
I keep getting many new spots (birthmarks) on my face. they are different shades of brown and different sizes. are they freckles or something serious?

Marks on face: light brown spots which persist and worsen can be a sign of an underlying disease. Neurofibromatosis a genetic disease can present with brown patches and over time tumorous growths. I would advise you to go to a dermatologist.
