freckles
Facial sun spots
Freckles are small, flat spots of concentrated pigment on the skin, typically tan or light brown.
They appear most often on fair-skinned people, especially on areas exposed to sun—the face, arms, and shoulders.
Freckles tend to multiply and darken in summer, fade in winter.
