Moles, Birthmarks
and Freckles

Moles are collections of cells that produce skin pigment. They often run in families but can also be influenced by UV exposure. Birthmarks come in various forms, including those with pigment cells, blood vessels, and other types. Freckles are brown spots that appear due to family history and are increased by sun exposure.

​

Freckles can serve as a barometer for sun exposure. Since they darken in the sun, pay close attention to any changes. If you notice your freckles darkening, consider increasing your sun protection measures. Watching your moles closely for changes is crucial. If you notice any changes, seek immediate evaluation from a healthcare provider.
