Understanding Freckles, Sunspots, and Moles
Freckles are small, flat brown spots that often darken with sun exposure during the summer and fade in winter. They are influenced by genetics and tend to appear more in fair-skinned individuals. In contrast, sunspots are flat patches that remain constant throughout the seasons, resulting from cumulative exposure to sunlight over the years. Moles can vary in appearance and location, often appearing due to genetics or hormonal changes, and whether they are flat or raised can influence how they are monitored for health concerns.
