PY - 2011 T2 - Color Atlas of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2e AB - Ephelides, more commonly known as freckles, are benign, small, well-demarcated, brown macules found on the sun-exposed skin of blond, light brown, and red-haired individuals. They present in early childhood and decrease in older age. They can be distinguished from lentigines in that they darken in times of high sun exposure and fade during periods of limited sun exposure.
