My smallest orange tree has half grown fruit on it, and they have coloured freckles. What I thought were small white spots are actually tiny red, yellow and white spots...
Whassat then?
Was thinking I would try a soap spray... can anyone suggest a tried and true?
My oranges have freckles!
possibly scale, in which case an oil spray would be best, perhaps a home made vegetable oil emulsion?

Scale is an insect Ina, and they are spread by ants so it is a perst not a disease. The oil clogs their breathing holes and they die!
