Fair skin, red hair are frequently accompanied by freckles. But people like me should not have them as I don’t fall in the above category. But I did have, loads of them.
One of my cousins, who is a doctor and lives in America, got his genealogy tested, and guess what? It seems we have some Caucasian, as well as gypsy DNA in our blood. That may account for dark reddish-brown hair and freckles in many of my mom’s family.
I got rid of a lot of the freckles that were on my face with cryotherapy. The doctor uses liquid nitrogen to burn of the freckles. It’s a relatively painless and inexpensive procedure. I guess it was vanity that made me take this step.
I still have a few here and there that I am okay with.

My freckles come through my DNA as well. I have too many to try and erase, however!

You are brave but if it what you wanted why not 💜 The genealogy is interesting I wonder if they were Irish Gypsies.💜

At that time I didn’t feel much discomfort. The surgeon was very good and it was not expensive. I don’t know what sort they were but my grandma had green eyes too which isn’t common in my part of the world.

No your grandma was unusual having green eyes could be Irish 💜

There is no mention of an Irish ancestor in the family line that I know off.

I would like to have a DNA search done. There have been family stories passed around but I don’t what’s true and what’s just fiction.

How interesting. I didn’t even know those could be removed. Not too many here, though I do have some family with lots. Thanks for sharing, Sadje.

The ones which are raised from the skin can be. They apply a bit of liquid nitrogen and poof…. It is burned. It fall off later as a scab.

I have about half as many freckles as my red haired Dad had… I love my freckles. Never would have thought of freezing them off… didn’t actually know they did that!

They do everything you want for a clearer skin, wrinkle free skin and lots more. But you love your freckles and that’s great.
