The freckles are spots of dark color, round and without protuberance that appears on the skin and have various sizes. Freckles may be the result of a precipitation of pigment in a particular section of skin: generally the skin that is around the freckle has a lighter color. Normally freckles are not a consequence or cause medical problems. Although they can appear anywhere on the body, are more common in sun-exposed areas.

Causes of freckles

The freckles are a genetic factor. Some diseases can cause increased sensitivity to ultraviolet light, and thus favor the formation of freckles. Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause the birth of freckles, especially in fair-skinned people. Another cause of freckles is hormonal imbalance: estrogen can stimulate the pigment produced by cells, resulting in the generation of more color when you have an exposure to the sun.

Diet

Consume many vegetables and foods containing vitamins A, B and C, all necessary for the proper maintenance of skin. Vitamin B5 helps to prevent dry skin.
