Check: dermatologist: It is better to be safe. Dark spots can become a problem and it is best to check with your dermatologist to make sure there is no problem.

Freckles: Freckles get lighter when not exposed to the sun, and get darker with sun exposure. Therefore, one gets (sees) more freckles in the summer than in the winter. That being said, all the freckles should get lighter and darker similarly. If one is getting darker and the rest not, one should have it examined by a dermatologist.
