The plural is ephelides (pronounced ĕf-ĕl-ĩ-dēz). These brown macules are exceedingly common on the face in some children. They appear after exposure to sunlight and are more common in children with very fair skin or red hair. They tend to disappear in adult life. Histologically, these lesions show increased amounts of epidermal melanin but no abundance of melanocytes.Graphic Jump LocationView Full Size||Download Slide (.ppt) SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education Medical CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/11/02 UR - dermatology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1133964562 ER -
