General Freckles Information
Freckles are irregular pigments in the skin that appear as small, brown dots around the nose, cheeks, shoulders and other areas of the body. Freckles tend to appear in childhood and fade by age 40. They often appear more prominently in the summer months and become less noticeable in the winter. Fair-skinned, blonde-haired and red-haired people are most likely to develop freckles. Those with blue eyes and green eyes are also prone to freckles. Freckles are not considered a health threat, but those who are susceptible to freckles are more likely to suffer from sunburns and some skin cancers.

Possible Causes of Freckles
Freckles are caused by uneven distribution of skin pigment melanin in the skin. Freckles become more prominent when exposed to sunlight because the skin produces extra melanin in sunny conditions.

Possible Symptoms of Freckles
Freckles appear as flat, brown dots around the nose, cheeks, hands, shoulders, knees and other areas of the body that are exposed to sunlight. These spots are usually light in color and tend to become more noticeable in the sunny, summer months.

Possible Lifestyle Changes for Freckles
Because freckles are directly tied to the color of one’s skin, there is no surefire way to prevent their appearance; however, there are ways to lessen the appearance of freckles. Avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen daily to protect the skin. Wear a wide brimmed hat when outside whenever possible. Washing the face with sour milk supplies lactic acid to the skin and aids peeling. Apply lemon juice to the freckles to help fade spots. Fruit, vegetable and sour cream masks can also help lessen the appearance of freckles. Apply horseradish juice directly onto freckles to help lighten them.
