All you need to know
What Are Age Spots?
Age spots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, occur when melanin (the pigment that gives skin its colour) clusters together in certain areas. Despite their nickname, they have no connection to the liver—they simply share a dark brown colour similar to that of liver tissue.
These spots typically appear on sun-exposed areas, including the hands, face, shoulders, and arms. They can vary in size, ranging from a tenth of an inch to half an inch. While age spots are most common in individuals over 50, they can also develop in younger people with frequent sun exposure.
What Causes Age Spots?
Age spots develop when melanin clumps together in concentrated areas, often due to excessive UV exposure. Sunlight stimulates melanin production, which accelerates the formation of these dark patches over time.
