What Are Freckles & Moles?

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

  • Freckles: Small, flat spots often triggered by sun exposure, particularly in individuals with fair skin.
  • Moles: Flat or raised skin growths that can vary in size and colour, formed by clusters of pigment-producing cells (melanocytes).

While freckles are usually harmless, moles may need regular observation to detect any signs of potential skin cancer. These spots typically develop on sun-exposed areas such as the face, arms, and shoulders. Although not always a cause for concern, keeping an eye on changes in size, shape, or colour is important for maintaining skin health.
