What Are Freckles?

Freckles are small, flat, light to dark brown spots that appear on the skin due to increased melanin production. They are most commonly seen on sun-exposed areas such as the face, nose, cheeks, shoulders, and arms.

Freckles are harmless and non-cancerous, but many people seek treatment for cosmetic reasons or uneven skin tone.
