What Are Freckles & Moles?

Freckles and moles are skin features caused by pigmentation changes.

  • Freckles: Small, flat spots typically caused by sun exposure, common in fair-skinned individuals.
  • Moles: Raised or flat skin growths that can vary in colour and size, often formed by clusters of melanocytes (pigment cells).

Freckles are generally harmless, while moles may require monitoring for signs of skin cancer. These conditions commonly appear on sun-exposed areas like the face, arms, and shoulders, and while they may not pose immediate risks, monitoring their changes is crucial for skin health.
