freckles

What are freckles and why do some have more than others? Dr. Emmy Graber can answer this question. The dermatologist and former director of the Boston University Cosmetic and Laser Center, and current president and founder of the Dermatology Institute of Boston, speaks with "Take Care" about what a freckle is and why we have them. “A freckle represents extra pigment, or melanin, that’s in the skin,” Graber said.
