L81.2: Freckles

You have freckles.

Freckles cause the skin in the affected areas to have more pigmentation than normal. This happens after the skin there has been exposed to sunlight. If there is more pigmentation, then the skin will appear darker than its environment.

Freckles are small, round, brownish patches that have a clearly recognizable edge. They are mainly found on the face and on arms, shoulders and in the neck area.
