What should I do to get ride of my Freckles?

[louich]

I'm a 17 year old boy and I have a faire skin complexion. When I go to the sun, freckles appear on my skin! I'v been looking everywhere on internet to find a way to get ride of my freckles: olive oil, parsley juice, lemon, cucumbers, sure milk, beta carotene, skin moisterizer etc... When I use those natural product on my skin, the freckcles fade faster then they would normaly do but, it is so long and frustrating to do all this ''process'' every day .
In three months, I am going on a trip to cancun and I would like to know if there was anything (like a special cream or a natural product) that could make me ''tan'' (beacuase I don't really tan) uniformly, without all the sun spots on my skin? Pleas help me!  ( by the way, when I une my 60% sunblock cream the freckles don't show off but I don't tann at all either... and I almost prefer to be tanner with freckles than pale as snow) So please, is there also a way to distribute the melamine equaly in the skin? What should I eat during those three moths to prepare my skin?

Hey , it is louich, I don't have any illness like athlet foot or what ever. I have just a really white skin and like almost everyone who has extra white skin, when I go a long time outside when it is sunny I get freckles on my skin. Freckles is like tanning but unequally. There is no illness in having freckles, I know a undred person with freckles. I was simply asking if someone knew how to transform my freckles in tan or just make them less noticable.

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of tinea versicolor. Tinea versicolor is caused by a fungus that lives in the skin of almost all adults. Factors that can cause the fungus to become more visible include high humidity and immune or hormone abnormalities. Treatment involves topical and oral antifungal medicines. Most cases of fungal infections respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. Some of them are Lamisil, Monistat derm, Mycelex, and Nizoral.
If still the symptoms do not improve then please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
