Freckles are simply little clusters of melanin triggered by the sun. Everybody gets them, they're just more visible on fair skinned red headed folk.

I know this, I am asking since Melanin is secreted by the Pineal Gland, if it has anything to do with being able to tell me if mine is open, or strong, etc.

Isn't melanin just skin pigmentation made darker from the sun?

Every body does not get freckels. Some people get freckels and some people never get freckels. No blanket statements please. I do not get freckels. I am a causcasion female of italian decent I have olive skin and I do not burn or get freckels. I tan. But I avoid the sun as far as laying out to gain color. I spend a lot of time outdoors I just dont lay out to tan.
As far as melanin being secreated by the penial gland thats just hogwash. Melanin is produced in the skin.
