DON'T SUNBURN!: freckles can result from sun exposure, particularly with light fair-skinned people. (are you an Irish redhead?). You will get more each time you get a sunburn, some will fade over to,e, others will be permanent. The important thing is totally avoid SUNBURNS. You put yourself at risk for melanoma, which can look like a freckle, but be the worst type of skin cancer.
