are they freckles or moles/sunspots? freckles are harmless and cute. if they have weird shapes or get darker / move, then def worth a check. google what melanoma looks like on dark skin, it can be totally different from what it looks/acts like on light skin

they’re like freckles. they’re not super dark, and granted i have like a warmer brown complexion , v medium in the spectrum of blackness. so they’re just faint and a slightly darker shade. so i think they’re fr just freckles i just think its so random that i have them all of a sudden and didn’t before
