What Are Freckles and Lentigines?
Freckles and lentigines are flat, pigmented spots that result from excess melanin in the skin:
Though harmless, they may become a cosmetic concern, especially when they appear on the face, neck, or hands.
- Freckles (Ephelides): Common in younger individuals with fair skin, these spots darken with sun exposure and often fade in winter.
- Lentigines (Age Spots or Liver Spots): Caused by cumulative sun damage and aging, these persistent dark spots are more common in adults over 40.
Though harmless, they may become a cosmetic concern, especially when they appear on the face, neck, or hands.
Common Causes of Freckles and Lentigines
- UV Exposure: Sunlight is the #1 trigger for pigment formation
- Genetics: Freckles are often hereditary
- Aging: Long-term sun exposure increases lentigines over time
- Hormonal Fluctuations: Can influence melanin activity
