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.

No, freckles are not dead cancer cells. Freckles are small, flat spots on the skin that contain a concentration of melanin pigment. They are usually harmless and can darken or fade depending on sun exposure.
No
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.

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.
Freckles is a naturally occurring pigment change in the skin. They didn't need to be invented by anyone.
Skin lesions can occur from minor skin irritations such as freckles, moles, or can be from a number of causes such as aging, injury, or cancer.

Genetics usually or just being out in the heat and the sun hits you and brings out peoples freckles
A melanin buildup which is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) will cause your skin to darken as in a tan. When it builds up too much you can get dark brown patches. It has many causes - sunburn, bruises, cuts, acne, fungal infections, eczema, psoriasis, etc. In most cases it will fade over time. Treatment with a lightening agent, such as Hydroquinone will speed up the process. It could take as long as 6 months ....................
Whatever the lightest one is. Tinted moisturizer doesn't have enough pigment in it to cover freckles.
Stay out of the sun. The sun is what causes freckles.
