Simple freckles

Simple lentigo is a hereditary pigmented skin disease with a higher incidence in whites and a lower incidence in Asians. Symptoms begin after exposure to the sun, but they can also start at the age of 7. Skin lesions occur on the face, neck, shoulders and back of hands. Clinically, it is characterized by scattered light brown or dark brown spots. May be accompanied by other systemic diseases and become part of some hereditary syndromes. Most of the clinical treatment is not needed, and the effect of freezing or laser treatment is better.
