What are my options to reduce these moles/freckles on my chest, shoulders & arms? (Photo)

August 25, 2016
Asked By:xoxoxgossipgirl in Birmingham, AL

I am in my early 30s. Tanned a lot when I was younger (teenager, early 20s) but soon realized the damage I was doing.... I am pretty good about wearing sunscreen on a daily basis and definitely wear sunscreen on days I'm out in the sun. I honestly avoid the outdoors because of the damage it does. For someone my age I know I've been very careful for quite some time but it seems to be of no use... I'm still getting these freckles/moles. What can I do???

Ice after mole shaved?
Nathan Eberle, MD, DDS, FACS says:

Icing on and off will not hurt you or the area.  Be sure to follow your doctor's advice for care of the shaved area and take an over the counter pain reliever such as Tylenol or it's generic if recommended by your doctor.
