Renetta:

If they come and go like that, they are almost certainly benign freckle spots.  I suggest you show them to your doctor next time you go, just to make sure.  Meanwhile, try an over-the-counter lightening cream containing 2% hydroquinone plus a sunscreen.  (Check with your druggist.)

Best.
