freckles are one such woe of your skin that most people don’t want to deal with.
So, what exactly are these freckles?
Freckles are tiny brown spots on the skin that appear most commonly on the facial skin, arms and shoulders, and other sun-exposed areas of the skin. People with fair skin (more sensitive) to sun damage are more prone to these freckles.
Symptoms of Freckles
There may be a change in skin color and shape.
• Diarrhea is another common symptom which is accompanied by freckles.
• There may be crampy abdominal pain and/or weight loss.
• The skin cancer is also one of the symptoms of freckles.
• Moles are often produced at the affected area of the skin.
• There may be blood or mucus in the stool.
Causes of Freckle
• Exposure of skin to sun.
• The basic cause of freckles is some special cells in the skin that produce a pigment called melanin.
• Freckles are influenced by genetic factors also.
• Hormone Abnormalities can cause freckles since estrogen over-stimulates pigment-producing cells, causing them to generate excess color when exposed to sunlight.
• Fair skin is another main cause of freckles. There is less overall melanin in fair skin to absorb UV light, therefore pigment cells produce melanin at an increased rate.
