Asked By:chickpeayogi31 in Massachusetts, MA

I'm not sure exactly whether they're actually malar festoons or not. I noticed one day that they had just suddenly appeared. They show more prominently in different types of lighting. I'm 18 and find this a bit alarming. For treatment options I'm considering laser and would first like a face to face appointment, but for now I'm unable to get one. Will it continue to worsen? Is there any chance that it could fix itself on its own? And are there any underlying conditions that could cause this?
