Freckles – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1925052982
The presence of multiple ephelides (ephelis = freckle) as is commonly seen in sun-exposed skin of individuals with phototype I (sun-sensitive) skin. They occur as a profusion of light brown macules, particularly on the face and upper extremities, and become more prominent after sun exposure. In contrast to lentigines there is no keratinocyte proliferation histologically.
