What Are Freckles & Moles?

Freckles and moles are common skin markings that result from changes in pigmentation.

  • Freckles: Usually small, flat, and light brown, freckles are caused by sun exposure and are most often seen in individuals with lighter skin tones.
  • Moles: These can be flat or raised and vary in size and color, forming from clusters of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes.

While freckles are typically harmless, moles should be observed over time, as changes in their appearance may indicate a risk of skin cancer. Both freckles and moles are most frequently found on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, shoulders, and arms. Regular monitoring and professional skin evaluations are important for maintaining skin health and catching any concerning changes early.
