Pigmentation & Sun Damage

Pigmented Lesions

IMPORTANT: All pigmented lesions should be checked by a Dermatologist to rule out potential malignancies.

Freckles

Freckles are a flat circular spot on the skin, about the size of the head of a nail, that develops after repeated exposure to sunlight, particularly in someone of fair complexion. Freckles may be red, yellow, tan, light brown, brown, or black. They are always darker than the skin around them since they are due to deposits of the dark melanin, a dark pigment.
