Freckles

A lot of people find freckles to be cute but then there is a whole other section of the society that wishes they’d never gotten any. So what really are these divisive freckles? Freckles, scientifically known as opheliids, are small brown spots that usually appear on the face and the arms. You could be born with them, the tendency to have them might’ve been passed down to you genetically or you might’ve developed them over time thanks to sun exposure, but they are just small spots that are caused due to hyperpigmentation in those specific areas. 

Depending on your skin color, freckles may or may not appear on you. Generally, a lot of people with fair skin and naturally red hair, are seen to have developed freckles either in early childhood or as young adults. These freckles often get darker when exposed to sun rays.
