A member asked:

Small black dots have started to appear on my skin.. i work in a greenhouse and i am in the sun all day. could this be an allegic reaction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not.: Sounds like sun damage (freckles, "liver spots"). Allergies are usually red itchy bumps. Wear a high spf sunscreen and see your dermatologist.
