Why do we get freckles?
What are freckles and how do they form?
Freckles are small areas of extra pigmentation on the skin made up of melanin, the hormone that determines your skin’s colour. Freckles are flat, tan or light brown and appear either as a single spot or, more usually, appear as a group. Freckles on the face are most common, but they often appear on the shoulders, arms, chest and back. They are sensitive to sunlight and will usually wane in winter.
