freckles - Upon exposure to the sun, freckles will reappear if they have been altered with creams or lasers and not protected from the Sun, but do however fade with age in some cases. Freckles are not a skin disorder but genetic. People with a predisposition to freckles may be especially susceptible to sunburn and skin cancer, and should therefore take extra care to protect themselves in the sun with a daily sunblock of at least 15 SPF. In dermatology, the synonym ephelides is used to designate freckles. Many people find freckles appealing, and at the extreme can have a fetish for them. 'Freckle fetishists', who can be male or female, may also be fixated on freckling at particular locations of the body: shoulder-freckles, cheek-freckles, back-freckles, or other locations and combinations. Because freckles are sometimes closely genetically linked to red hair, freckle fetishism can also have redhead fetishism and trichophilia.-- wikipedia
