CAUSES
Freckles and blotchy pigmentation are primarily caused by an overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. Sun exposure is a major trigger for freckles, as UV rays stimulate melanin production in certain areas, leading to darker spots.
RISK FACTORS
Risk factors for freckles and blotchy pigmentation include having fair skin, which is more susceptible to sun damage, and excessive sun exposure without protection. Genetic predisposition also plays a role, as freckles tend to run in families. Hormonal fluctuations, especially during pregnancy or while using birth control, can increase the risk of melasma.
