Question
How should I handle the freckle on my baby’s face? There is a small freckle near the right eye corner, and some people suggest using traditional Chinese medicine to remove it. Is this method appropriate?
Answer
For small freckles on a baby’s face, observation can be the initial step. If the freckle shows signs of growing larger, it is important to take the child to the hospital for a consultation promptly. For larger freckles, considering laser surgery at a reputable cosmetic medical facility can be an option. Freckles are commonly found on the buttocks or waist, and their colors are often light blue, possibly blue-gray or blue-black, resembling a bruise. They are quite common in people of East Asian descent and usually fade gradually before adolescence.
