Maaaaan I want more freckles but I’ve been on T my whole life with hardly anything. Freckles are cute, congrats!

I have freckles aplenty when I get in the sun. Bad thing about sun freckling is i’m very prone to sunburn.

Somebody else mentioned that the ones i’m getting without sun exposure sound more like small moles and I think they’re right. Now I have both.

I get freckles when I’m out in the sun but these are the kind that are bigger and don’t go away. Got some in places that aren’t exposed to the sun like beside my belly button and my on my upper thigh.

(IANAD, and I’ve never been on T.) Is it ever so slightly raised? If so, it could be a keratosis. I started getting them as I got older in similar places. Not sure what it could have to do with T, though… maybe hormonal changes in general? Dunno.

i haven’t had any new freckles pop up without being out in the sun, but i have had new moles pop up and they can look like freckles when they’re very small! when i noticed it i looked it up and it sounds like moles mostly appear during puberty and so it makes sense that puberty 2 could give you more.

Yeah they could just be moles.

I’ve been getting freckles on my body in similar places that aren’t exposed to the sun. I always thought it was related to age rather than testosterone, but who knows! I don’t mind them personally.

I don’t mind them either. I just wasn’t expecting T do do that
