Ephelides

Ephelides and solar lentigines are benign pigmented spots, which are currently associated with an increased risk of skin cancer. These two pigmented spots are known to be discriminated by their clinical, histological, and electron microscopic characteristics, even though occasional misclassification can occur because of their similarity.

Ephelides are not permanent, and will fade or disappear completely if there is no exposure to the sun. Some people of mixed races who can tan darkly will freckle with minimal sun expsore. Ephelides comes from the Greek word for freckle: ephelis. The principal characteristic of this form of freckle is its color (red or light brown). Ephelides were seen in 16%, lentigines solaris in 62.4%, and lentigines seniles in 33.2%. All signs of skin aging increased significantly with age and so did lentigines solaris, seniles, and actinic keratoses.

Ephelides were not infrequently observed in our children (prevalence r . Ephelides, are flat red or light-brown spots that typically appear during the sunny months and fade in the winter. Lentigines, are small tan, brown, or black spots which tend to be darker than an ephelis-type freckle and which do not fade in the winter. Ephelides are common in lighter type skin in individuals who sunburn easily. Lentigines usually appear later in life and can occur in all skin types.

Ephelides appear as macular brown pigmentation in sun-exposed areas, usually on the face. They are more common in light-skinned individuals, and the tendency to have freckles is a heritable condition. Ephelides are more common in those with light complexions (although are found on people with a varriety of skin tones) and with the regular use of sunblock, can be suppressed. Ephelides appear as flat brown pigmentation in sun-exposed areas, usually on the face. They are much more common in fair-skinned individuals, and a propensity to have freckles is an inheritable condition.
