Sun spots
Flat brown patches, also called age spots or liver spots, that appear on skin after years of sun exposure, most often on the face, chest, and hands. Light and laser treatments can break up the pigment.
What It Is
Sun spots are flat, brown patches that develop on the skin after cumulative ultraviolet (UV) exposure over many years. They appear most commonly on the face, chest, hands, and other areas that receive frequent sun exposure. Sun spots are entirely benign, though some people choose to address them for cosmetic reasons. The brown color comes from clusters of melanin that concentrate in these areas, and the patches typically remain flat and stable over time.
