Freckles are caused by the melanocytes of that particular patch of skin to produce more melanin than the surrounding skin usually due to UV radiation exposure. Moles are actually considered tumors as they are abnormal skin growths. Most moles are caused by mutations of a given skin cell but are not usually dangerous.

Freckles are caused by an increased production of melanin in the skin due to exposure to sunlight. Moles, on the other hand, are usually caused by clusters of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. They can be present at birth or can develop over time due to factors like genetic predisposition or sun exposure. It is important to monitor moles for any changes in size, shape, or color as they can sometimes be a sign of skin cancer.
