VerifiedHello. I'm Dr Chip
I completely understand your concern here
But if after three years there's no sign of the freckle/mole coming back--no pigmentation there--then it was completely removed and wasn't malignant
So no need for worry here
Please let me know if you need any more information
Yes it would repigment and come back darker
