yeah, so i just got off accutane. is there anyway to tell the difference between like... freckle-colored scars or actual freckles? i could never tell if i had freckles or not before, because my face was always broke out. however, it seems like before all the acne... i didn't have that many freckles. it DOES look like freckles though, & it's annoying, because i can't really be for sure which one it is. even if it IS freckles, i don't want them. lol. sooo... has anyone else had problems distinguishing between the 2? & i know it's too early for me to do the scar treatment type things, but when i'm able to, is there anything that's able to get rid of freckles, too? THANKS.

Brevoxyl-4 (4% BP wash) instantly dissolves my freckles.... I used to be freckle boy covered face now I have really no freckles but maybe 1 or 2?

I have dark pigmentation from sun damage and acne scars that I am treating with Tri Luma Cream (prescription only). It's helping.

I am almost 6 months post tane.

Freckles are adorable! It is good that you can't tell whether they're scars or freckles, must mean they are somewhat cute, then.

Anyway, a retinoid would help reduce the 'freckling', or a gentle AHA applied as per directions, or the creams/treatments suggested above.
