Sun spots (age spots)
I. Definition:
Sun spots (age spots), also known as lentigines, are harmless, flat, brown discolorations of the skin which usually occur on the back of the hands, neck and face of people older than 40 years of age. Sun spots are caused by the skin being exposed to the sun over many years and are a sigh of sun damage. ... Sun spots are harmless and do not need to be treated unless they are changing or getting bigger than the surrounding sun spots.
