EFELIDES (FRECKLES)
Freckles are signs of youth, as they decrease towards 40 years of age and are almost absent in old people. Their presence has a familiar and hereditary character, as a result of congenital disorders.
They generally appear in blond or redheaded children and adolescents and more rarely met in brunette persons; freckles may appear sometimes in anemic, lymphatic persons. Efelides look like small, round-shaped, brown or light brown- colored spots.
Sunlight stimulates their presence and even increases it in spring and summer. Freckles may be seen on forehead, cheekbones and nose and, more uncommon, on forearms, neck and shoulders and sometimes, after age 50, on the back of the hands.

Muscles’ contraction allows the expression of certain states of mind like joy, anger, surprise, nostalgia.
