    GlossaryFreckles

    small, flat, brownish skin spots from increased melanin production

    Freckles, also known as ephelides, are small, flat, brownish spots on the skin that typically appear on sun-exposed areas. They result from an increase in melanin production and are more common in individuals with lighter skin tones. Freckles are generally harmless and can become more pronounced with sun exposure.
