Freckles

[]

Freckles are light tan or dark brown spots that appear mostly on fair skin complexions. When exposed to the sun, freckles can become darker, and in the winter they generally fade. Simple Freckles and Sunburn Freckles are the two basic types. Simple freckles are round and small, while Sunburn freckles are usually bigger and darker. Freckles are caused by sun exposure and inheritence of family members. Freckles generally do not become cancerous (not life threatening) but can lead to Lentigo Maligna, Melanoma, and Basal Cell Carcinoma.
