Age spots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, are flat, brown or black spots that appear on the skin as a result of sun exposure and ageing.
Age spots are caused by prolonged and repeated exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun, which causes the skin to produce more melanin (pigment) in certain areas. As a result, these areas become darker and more visible on the surface of the skin. Age spots can also be caused by other factors such as genetics and ageing.
Age spots are more common in people over the age of 50, but they can occur in younger individuals who have had prolonged sun exposure.
No, age spots are generally harmless and are not a sign of skin cancer. However, if you notice any new or changing spots on your skin, it is important to have them checked by a dermatologist.
