A member asked:

Just noticed a new, very small, slightly raised spot that looks like a freckle that appeared overnight. i just tried new skin care, could this be why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: That raised bright red spot with sharp margins likely would have happened anyway & will lead to a freckle. You will probably see others as well. If you still have concerns, send us a picture, or see a clinician locally. Hope that helps.
