Suggest Medication For Brown Spots Appearing On The Face

There are brown spots almost like freckles on my 1 year old s face. It began with 3 tiny spots last year - they have not changed in size or shape, but there are now more of them just on the one side and on the bridge of his nose. I have taken him to my GP but they do not know what it is,a referral has been made to a dermatologist, but I am so worried.

Hi...those could be adenomas or sebaceous glands getting blocked. But it us very unusual at this age. An image if the face would have helped me a lot. Other possibility is an allergy or eczema or an insect bites allergy. I suggest you consult your dermatologist or upload photos in this website, so that our team will guide you appropriately.
