Freckle

(Redirected from Freckles)

Freckles are small brownish spots of melanin on human skin in people of fair complexion, predominantly found on the face. Predisposition to freckles is genetic, though exposure to sunlight is a factor in how many appear. The gene for freckling is related to the presence of red hair.
