A member asked:
If you sunburn on your face, are you more likely to gets freckle in the future cause you've damaged your skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: There are two basic types of freckles, "simple freckles" and "sunburn freckles", and this should help answer your question. Freckles are more common in those with light complexions, and in those who get sunburns. Moderate your sun exposure, wear a hat, and always wear good, and good amounts, of sunscreen!
