I have a question about freckle management.

I'm curious about treatments for freckles that can be done at home.

I am a 40 year old woman.

I had clear skin until I was in my 30s, but now it's blotchy and I'm afraid to meet people without a hat.

My confidence is gone because of my facial blemishes and I am reluctant to go out.

People around me tell me to do milk massages or wash my face with rice water, but I don't think that alone is enough.

It's getting worse and worse.

I was recommended a freckle cream and have been applying it regularly before going to bed, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I'm also curious about the cause of my freckles. I need to eliminate the cause... Please help me prevent more.
