Examples

2. A sun spot is what we call a lentigo.

3. And freckles can look very similar to another feature of the skin called lentigines but they are not the same thing.

4. In lentigines the skin contains more melanocyte cells and those cells aren't going anywhere so lentigines normally don't change much depending on your exposure to sunlight.
