Subject: Freckles/Brown Spots

Question
I have developed lots of freckles/brown spots on my left arm only over the past week or so.  I live on the beach in California so am in the sun a lot but wear sunscreen everyday and reapply often.  It also seems very strange that these are appearing only on my left hand/arm even underneath my forearm where the sun rarely hits. I've noticed over the past 2 years that I tend to get brown spots on my face as well when I'm in the sun (a side effect of my birth control pills I think) but this seems like something very different.  I have my moles checked every year at my physical exam.  Any ideas?

Answer
Can be many different things.
Please, read my expertise.
In order to help you, please take some pictures (web size) and send them to jvelasq51@hotmail.com with the words JMC at subject; donīt forget to make your question on the message text.
If you canīt, or you have any concerns with your skin or its treatment, please visit a board certified dermatologist, preferably at an University Hospital.
I donīt prescribe by internet.
