Welcome to EmpowHER. Age spots are very common in adults older than age 40, they can affect younger people as well.
Age spots also called liver spots and solar lentigines — are flat gray, brown or black spots. They vary in size and usually appear on the face, hands, shoulders and arms — areas most exposed to the sun.
True age spots are harmless and don't need treatment, but they can look like cancerous growths. It's important to have it checked by a dermatologist.
