Can u develop freckles later in life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Freckles, also called ephiledes occur on sun exposed skin and are a response to sun exposure and can occur at any age. People with fair skin color, lighter hair and light eyes are more likely to develop freckles. In addition, freckles that already are present may get darker with sun exposure.
