I am 28 years old and I'm starting to get freckle-like spots on my face! Could they be from the sun? (Photo)

Freckles can be hereditary but with sun exposure they become darker and more numerous. Over time some can become larger and even premalignant. Treatment options include chemical peels, some lasers  and, when worrisome, excision of specific lesions. Sunblock is helpful in protecting skin. 

Hyperpigmentation can ruin your skin and can be caused by either PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), melasma, age or sun spots, and chronic inflammation.  Starting treatment is easy with topical creams; followed by laser and light therapy. I would use a combination skincare protocol that includes topical Melarase creams first, followed by a combination of light fractional laser, depigmenting lasers and IPL, vascular pulsed dye laser, and Covalent peels.
