What is the technical term for freckles?

  1. Chloasma

  2. Nevus

  3. Vitiligo

  4. Lentigines

The correct answer is: Lentigines

The technical term for freckles is "Lentigines." Lentigines refer to small, pigmented spots on the skin that are commonly known as freckles. Option A, Chloasma, is not the correct term for freckles; it is a condition that causes brown patches on the face, often due to hormonal changes. Option B, Nevus, is a term used for moles, which are different from freckles. Moles are growths on the skin that can vary in color and size. Option C, Vitiligo, is also not the correct term for freckles. Vitiligo is a condition that causes depigmentation of patches of skin, leading to white spots or patches.
