What is This symptom?
Age spots (solar lentigines or liver spots) are flat, brown, gray, or black spots that appear on the skin as a result of prolonged sun exposure and the natural aging process. They typically appear on areas frequently exposed to the sun such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. Age spots are caused by an accumulation of melanin (skin pigment) in the skin due to UV-induced damage.
