What are Sunspots?

Sunspots (lentigines) are small, flat pigmented spots that are similar to freckles and are most often found on sun-exposed skin. They differ from freckles in that they do not typically change color when exposed to the sun.

Sun spots can occur anywhere, and usually appear on areas of the body that are subject to high sun exposure including the face, shoulders, neck, ears, and back of the hands.

Causes of Sunspots

Sunspots, commonly referred to as age spots or liver spots, are caused by prolonged unprotected exposure of the skin to sunlight. Prolonged exposure to the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays causes these pigmented color changes in the skin, which result in benign pigmented (melanocytic) lesions that typically appear dark brown to black.
