Title: How many freckles did you get from HRT?
Post by: DuchessBianca on November 18, 2016, 12:37:42 AM
Hello! It seems a seldom talked about topic but I did some research awhile ago and read that it can happen due to the pigmentation/changes to the skin with estrogen. In my 6 months (especially the past 2) of HRT I swear I've seen at least 100 more dots all over my body especially my arms, my forhead and other places on my face I keep noticing more and more too. Doesn't bother me I just find it pretty interesting.

Given how freckled I was before HRT, I have no idea :) I could have gained a thousand or more and simply not noticed because the percentage increase would be so small.

Very interesting.

I have seen plenty of skin changes: softer, way less oil, perhaps a bit paler, even cellulite as i get a layer of fat under my skin on my ever expanding butt. Have not seen any freckles though.
