Sunspots vs. freckles: How to tell them apart

  • Both sunspots and freckles involve excess pigment in the skin but have different causes and behaviors.
  • Freckles are genetic, appear in childhood, and are smaller than 5 millimeters, while sunspots develop from UV exposure after age 30 and can grow larger.
  • Freckles fade in winter, but sunspots remain visible year-round and do not change seasonally.
  • Using daily SPF and protective clothing helps prevent both conditions and reduces the risk of skin cancer.
