What are Freckles?
Freckles are small, flat, light brown to dark brown spots that appear on the skin due to increased melanin production. They are harmless, non-cancerous, and commonly develop on sun-exposed areas such as the face, shoulders, arms, and upper back. Freckles are more common in people with fair skin but can occur in all skin types.
Small, flat brown or tan spots Round or irregular in shape Usually 1–5 mm in size Most commonly appear on the face, nose, cheeks, shoulders, and arms Become darker after sun exposure and may fade during winter No pain, itching, or scaling
Ephelides (True Freckles): Common freckles that appear during childhood, become darker with sun exposure, and often fade during winter. Solar Lentigines (Sun Spots / Age Spots): Larger, darker spots caused by long-term sun exposure, usually seen in adults.

Freckles are usually diagnosed through a clinical examination by a dermatologist.
