Freckles are small brown spots on your skin, often in areas that get sun exposure. In most cases, freckles are harmless. They form as a result of the overproduction of melanin, which is responsible for skin and hair color (pigmentation). Overall, freckles come from ultraviolet (UV) radiation simulation.
How many types of freckles?
There are two types of freckles:
Ephelides and solar lentigines
Ephelides are the most common freckles seen by a number of people as a result of sun exposure and sunburns. They can appear when someone does not protect themselves from UV rays. Mostly its shows up on their faces.
Lentigines freckles are the dark patches that develop in adulthood or we can say over 40 years old person mostly called Solar lentigines.
They included aging signs, spots, and sun spots both freckles are seen as similar but different in ways.
Why is increasing day by day?
The credit for freckles goes to both the natural environment and genetics. Your risk for burning can increase the incidence of freckles.
In a study of middle-aged women suffering from freckle issues, due to frequent sunburns and an MC1R known as melanin.
There are two types of melanin. Pheomalanin and second is eumelanin. A human whose skin produces pheomelanin cant protect from UV rays they have red or blond hair, light skin, freckles, and skin with poor tans that easily appear on them. Some come due to genetic issues.
Genetics: It also plays a leading role in freckles development because people’s skin produces a number of melanin.
Some people have dark hair, eyes, and skin usually they produce eumelanin, and they less developed freckles than those people seen in the middle east.
Some have red-blond or light brown hair with light color they produce pheomelanin and their skin produces freckles.
How to recognize whether it’s freckles or moles?
Freckles can be very similar to moles but their primary cause of sun exposure and aging. The shape of freckles is irregular with well-defined edges and its color is tan, brown, or ref size should be 1-2 mm or larger. Most women use creams and medicine to reduce freckles sign.
Due to air pollution, a layer of the sun is probably damaged and Uv rays come direct to the earth. It’s a most common cause is sun exposure which produces freckles and aging signs. It changes the structure of skin cells its damage underlying connective tissue as a result it develops freckles with wrinkles. Most women suffer from this issue.
