Who invented freckles?
Freckles is a naturally occurring pigment change in the skin. They didn't need to be invented by anyone.
Are freckles genetic?
Yes, freckles can be genetic. Freckles also can come from being in the sun. Freckles contain a pigment called melanin. This pigment comes out more when exposed to sun and on light or fair skinned people.
What causes freckles and pigment moles?
The Sun! Freckles are a way our skin tells us: "Hey, I'm getting damaged by the sun!" What is happening is that the pigment producing cells in the skin, called melanocytes feed melanin to the keratinocytes, the normal skin cells that form the outer barrier of our skin to protect us. It keeps the good stuff in and the bad stuff out. When the melanocytes in the skin get damaged by the sun, we produce freckles which are abnormal collections of melanin pigment, packaged in a different way than a normal melanin pigment is packaged. They sit on the top layer of our skin which is called the epidermis. http://www.freckles.org/whatcausesfreckles.html

How do freckles appear?
when your in the sun alot freckles come but sometimes it just runs in your familySunshine increases the production of melanin, the pigment that tans our skin and protects it. Some fair-skinned people and most redheads don't tan in the sun. Their pigment cells either do not respond or do so unevenly. Instead of producing an even suntan, the pigment collects irregularly in small dark spots.Freckles appear when the skin's natural skin pigment is not dispersed normally- causing it to group and form darker areas, known as freckles.
Can albinos have freckles?
Many people would argue that a true albino cannot have freckles because a freckle is defined as a clump of dark pigment in the skin. Albinism is defined as a living being having no pigment or capability of producing pigment, thus; albinos dont have freckles. But some albinos HAVE gotten freckles from sun exposure so I guess it is possible. Sorry for making the explanantion so long(:

Freckles are caused by too much exposure to UV-B radiation. The exposure to UV-B radiation activates melanocytes, and this increases melanin production, which in turn causes freckles to become more darker and more noticeable.
