Understanding Common Skin Markings: Moles & Freckles

Two common skin markings are:

1. Moles (Nevi): These are clusters of melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) that appear as small, dark spots on the skin. They can be flat or raised, and their color can range from brown to black.

2. Freckles (Ephelides): These are small, flat, brown spots that appear on skin exposed to the sun. They are caused by increased melanin production in response to sunlight.
