Are Freckles Genetic?

Green Peel Treatment
 Rash asks,
I have tiny red pimples on my cheeks, chin and forehead. Also some have left scars and I see pigmentation on my forehead. My forehead is getting darker compared to the rest of my face. I have read about green peel treatment. How many sessions of green peels are typically required for curing the scars and wide pores.
 Dear Rash,
Green peel is a herbal peel. It accelerates blood circulation and takes off the dead skin layers. It is a 5-day procedure and works excellent on deep-pitted acne scars. 2-3 sittings are required at an interval of 4-6 weeks depending on the depth of the scar. It helps in skin rejuvenation and thus gives a lightening effect.
Oily Skin
Leena asks,
My face is very oily and I keep getting acne though I avoid oily food. But this is not helping me. What should I do? Please help.
Dear Leena,
Since you have oily skin use a face wash meant for oily skin 2-3 times a day. Use multani mitti pack once or twice a week depending on the oiliness. Use a moisturiser, which is oil free / oil control. Use a good sun-block (SPF 30 or above) 2-3 times a day. Also consult a dermatologist to rule out any hormonal imbalance.
Facial Hair
Ami asks,
After my second delivery I started getting facial hair. I'm very scared, as it looks very bad. I get my chin waxed every week but now the hair is increasing day by day. I don't want to go for the laser, as I am scared with laser treatment?
Dear Ami,
Laser hair removal with Light Sheer Diode is the best option. Laser hair removal with 'Light Sheer Diode' removes dark hair permanently and reduces the fine hair. 4-6 sittings are required at an interval of 4-6 weeks to get the desired results. Other option would be bleaching the hair once a month, which is quite safe and effective.
Dry Skin
Nashra asks,
I have dry skin and I have tried many moisturizing creams but nothing suits my skin. If I apply any cream it starts itching. What should I do?
Dear Nashra,
General itching of the skin could be due to dryness. You can use coconut oil all over the body before bath. Use soap with deep moisturizing effect like Aquasoft / Oilatum, follow it with a deep moisturizing cream like Efaderm / Emolene every 3-4 hrs. If the itching is severe you can take an anti-allergic tablet like levocetrizine at night for a week. Also consult a dermatologist to rule out any underlying skin disorder.
Make a pack of grated almond, cucumber and oats. Add a spoon of yoghurt. Mix and apply on the face, leave for 15 mins and wash off in circular motion.
Freckles On Skin
Sharon asks,
I am 24 years old. I have got freckles on my face. I have been doing glycolic peel since 4 months (4 sessions). I apply sunscreen on my face regularly. But there is only a slight change i.e. it just got a bit lighter. Is it possible to get rid of it completely?
Dear Sharon,
Freckles are a condition, which is usually genetic, hence unfortunately does not go 100%. We can help them in lightening to a certain extent and it increases with sun exposure. Use a good sun-block (SPF 30 or above) 3-4 times a day to avoid tanning. Chemical peels acts by flaking off the dead layers of skin and thus helps in lightening. 4-6 sittings at an interval of 4-6 weeks will help in giving a lightening effect, but make sure a trained professional does it. Use skin lightening creams containing Vitamin C / Kojic acid / Hydroquinone at night.
