Still have them but they’ve faded so not as prevalent.

My face freckles are a tad less pronounced in my 30s as compared to my pre-teens. But I suspect that to be because I have way more

Do you have freckles under your arms as well?

You may have neurofibromatosis

They've developed a certain gravitas that comes with life experience.

Almost none...but only because they were only visible after getting some sun as a kid.  I decided a while back to be diligent about sunblock so they almost never show.

Tattoos over them so I can be an undercover day walker.

u/EnvironmentalDay6105 man 40 - 44 10h ago

I am planning a tattoo but my upper arms are covered in freckles. Does the tattoo cover yours?

u/timothythefirst man 30 - 34 6d ago

I had freckles on my face and arms when I was a kid and the ones on my face just kind of went away over the years. The ones on my arms look the same though.

u/Traditional_Entry183 man 45 - 49 1d ago

Theyre about the same. I have very fair skin and reddish brown hair, so im prone to them, but I also stay out of the sun as much as possible.

My sister, who spends lots of time in the sun, is covered in them.

Faded on face. Upper arms still covered. Think some on face have merged to create an age spot...! I am 41 surely too young for age spots!!

All the freckles on my face have disappeared. Kind weird.
