Signs & Symptoms of Freckles
Freckle appearance may not be the same for every affected person. They may be confused with other skin conditions like moles, pigmentation, melasma, and more. An experienced dermatologist can only help identify freckles along with their cause and provide appropriate treatment.
The common symptoms of freckles include
- Generally brown spots appear, but the skin discoloration may even be black, red, pink, blue, colorless, or flesh-colored
- Spots of size less than 3 mm in diameter
- Flat or slightly raised spots
- The pigmented patches show up on areas like the face, neck, arms, and chest.
- The spots are mostly noticeable during and after sun exposure
- Spots fading out in winter and reappearing in summer.
