Someone Claims All Women Have A Freckle In The Middle Of Their Wrists, And People Start Freaking Out (23 Pics)
Twitter is the perfect place for people to unite over TV shows, pop culture trends, viral photos, and now – skin pigmentation. Recently a twitterer Aaryn Whitely posted pictures of her wrist, alongside her friends, claiming that every woman has a mole or a freckle in the middle of their wrist.
To prove her theory she asked the rest of the internet about her hypothesis and the pictures of moles started rolling in. The ‘freckle challenge’ has since gone viral. Another user Cstar added to the freckle mystery tweeting, ‘Every girl has a freckle on their right wrist and or left boob.’ The question now remains, what is on your wrist? Is it a coincidence or some sort of pre-historic gang sign?

Freckles are made from tiny clusters of concentrated melanized cells in the basal area of the skin’s epidermis. When exposed to sunlight, they can become darker and more visible, as the ultraviolet light (UV-B radiation) activates pigment-producing melanocytes to produce more melanin. This is the reason why freckles sometimes fade in the winter and darken in the summer.
Some of them were a little off center

The facts behind this skin condition phenomenon are unknown, but speculation is that it could be due to where we are most likely to develop freckles on the whole. The face, hands, and upper arms are the parts of the body most frequently exposed to ultraviolet radiation. So, in general, these areas are more freckly than others. As for the wrist, it is extremely visible daily, even more so than the face!
People had fun with the tweet and added theories of their own
Guess I am not a woman, someone should tell my hubby lol.
same! i have a birthmark-freckle on my left pinkie, tho...so wtf am i?! not a man or hermaphrodite/whatever
Wait I have a birthmark freckle on my left pinkie too! :0
i have that too!
I too have a pinkie freckle. Thought I didnt have a freckle on my wrist but it is off to the side by my wrist bone.
I’m just relieved a bunch of you don’t have it. Otherwise that would be too strange.
i better change schools now XD - i go to an all girls school
I have 1, but not both. So I'm half female? lol
I laughed, looked at my right wrist, stopped. I have it too, wth.
I was like "this is bs" and then I saw my left wrist XD
Most of these are left wrists! Mine is also my left wrist! (About halfway down my arm but still right in the center!)
Same!! How odd
I'm a guy and I have it on my right wrist, centered, top
Your left side gets all the sun while you are driving. I have freckles damn near everywhere so I have them too I guess. Couldn't tell you which one is "THE" freckle though.
Same thing here, I laughed and rolled my eyes first... then I noticed my tiny one. :')
Me too!! O_O
Me too. Left wrist.
Aandd guess what, I have one too. Right in the middle of my right wrist. Been there as long as I can remember.
I have one down my arm
Left wrist here, even center mass! But I too, laughed, and then looked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't. does it mean I am a man?
No, it merely means you win no Internets today.
No, it means you will stop menstruation for good soon
You sure
