How to get rid of freckles naturally at home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good idea!: Freckles are naturally occurring skin lesions. Any attempt to remove them by home remedies is not recommended, potentially harmful to you and most likely will result in skin that looks "worse" than skin with freckles. Very fair skin and freckles (such as in northern Europeans) can increase risk of melanoma. However, south Asians with tan skin have reduced risk of melanoma, even with freckles.
