Freckles Causes and Treatment

Freckles Causes and Treatment and How to Get Rid of Them Naturally

London: Freckles are small, harmless marks that appear on the skin. Genetics and sun exposure are the primary causes of freckles. They’re brown because of melanin that’s produced by skin cells that have been exposed to ultraviolet light, usually in the summer. The pigment production increases during sunny seasons and decreases as days become more overcast, which is why you might notice freckles fading during winter.  Some people are more likely to get freckles than others, depending on their genes and skin type.

If a person is genetically more likely to develop freckles, exposure to sunlight can make them appear. Freckles are common in children and may disappear or become less noticeable as they grow up. In this article, we look at what causes freckles. How to distinguish them from other similar marks, ways to remove or lighten them, and when to see a doctor or a skin doctor called a dermatologist.
