What is the Cause of Freckles?
Melanocytes are pigment-producing cells in the skin that produce a brown pigment called melanin that causes the darkening of the skin. Human skin is very reactive to external sunlight. Sunlight carries ultraviolet rays reaching the earth and more exposure to these UV rays can cause skin burns on the skin which is also a true form of freckles. Normally, melanin is not evenly distributed under the skin, and subjection to the sun causes uneven skin tone darker than other body parts.
Freckles can be genetic but no one is born with freckles. They are usually triggered by sunlight.
Persons with brighter skin tones are more prone to a large number of freckles. Fair people contain less amount of melanin pigment in their skin and sun exposure causes freckles that represent a focal area of elevated melanin production.
