Freckles are small, flat, and pigmented skin blemishes that often appear as clusters of tan, brown, or slightly reddish spots on the skin’s surface. They are typically more common in fair-skinned individuals and are caused by the uneven distribution of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye colour. Freckles are generally harmless and are not associated with any underlying health conditions. They can vary in size and colour, and their appearance is often influenced by genetics and sun exposure. Freckles are most frequently found on areas of the skin that are regularly exposed to the sun, such as the face, arms, shoulders, and neck.

What are Freckles?
Causes of Freckles
● Genetics: The propensity to develop freckles can be hereditary, meaning they often run in families.
● Sun Exposure: Freckles are primarily caused by exposure to the sun’s UVB rays, which stimulate melanocytes to produce excess melanin in localised areas.
● Fair Skin: People with fair or light skin are more susceptible to freckles due to their lower melanin levels, which provide less natural protection against UV radiation.
● Hormonal Changes: Some individuals may notice an increase in freckles during hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or puberty.
Signs of Freckles
● Small, flat, and round or oval-shaped pigmented spots on the skin.
● Typically tan, brown, or reddish in colour.
● Clustered in areas regularly exposed to the sun, like the face, arms, and shoulders.
● More common in fair-skinned individuals.
● Freckles may darken with increased sun exposure and fade during the winter months.
