Can TCA Peel cause freckles?

I have a new freckle on my jaw 1 week after 25% TCA peel. Its not a scar or PIH. I've done lots of TCA peels and never had new freckles. It is not ugly or anything but its just weird because I only get a new freckle if I've been in the sun too long. And I wear a lot of SPF everyday. Is this something that can happen and why?

TCA peels will not improve or be of benefit for acne scarring. TCA would be a waste of time and money. Please consult with an experienced facial plastic surgeon to discuss your treatment options.
