make sure that they're freckles. There is a type of body fungus that spreads on every part of your body. My friend has some going up her neck and onto her face. anyway, if they are freckles, put some sunscreen on before you go outside. a study shows that the sun can cause more freckles.

Freckles are generally thought to be genetic, that is you are born with a tendency to get them or not. Exposure to sunlight can cause them to increase just as people without them tend to tan. Melanin, the pigment that makes for tanning (or dark skin in general) is also what gives freckles their color.
You may be able reduce the number or darkness of freckles by shielding your skin from the sun. This may be a good idea in any case because light skinned people are more at risk from skin damage by the sun's rays.
On the other hand some people find freckles very attractive!

Teenage is the time when freckles increase. Wash your face using a gentle face wash, apply sunscreen before going out. Also use a clean towl to wipe your face. Dont share it with other people in the house.

I had the same issue. Puberty and more time in the sun at a youthful age. Wear a hat and sunglasses when you are out and about. Put on a sunscreen Arbonne's damage control SPF 30 is awesome and it's not oily. I had the same issue. Try a skin lightening cream such as Arbonne's RE9 day cream. check out familyfriendly.myarbonne.com and request samples or information.

i seriously doubt you have a body fungus, that is gross! Freckles happen when you have increased exposure to the sun. putting on sunscreen will help you from getting more, but i don't think there is a way to take them away...
I think freckles are cute!

if you don't want this to happen, stay out of the sun and out of the wind. but, i like freckles ! they're super unique and give your skin a really unique "texture".

Exposure to sunlight.

maybe its because of the amount of sun exposure, but you might want to ask your doctor, just to make sure they arent cancerous.
