Freckles may be defined as skin problem primarily associated with pigmentation within the surface of the skin in the form of spots caused by action of sun on melanin in the lower layers of the skin. This condition is typically found in fair skinned people who tend to have decreased levels of melanin as compared to people with dark complexion.

Freckles as such do not hamper the normal physical activities of the individual but they do cause psychological and emotional problems associated with physical appearance. Adolescents are the most affected as they may tend to become introvert and avoid social gatherings.

Cremes, ointment and lotions do claim to eliminate freckles but the fact of the matter is that none of them can get of them. They have a tendency to resurface again once the treatment is stopped.

As a precautionary measure people with such sensitive skin ought to carry an umbrella or probably apply a strong sun screen lotion before going out into the sun.
