Brown spots — also known as “age spots” and “liver spots” — are non-cancerous spots appearing on areas of the body primarily exposed to ultraviolet light such as the face, hands, shoulders and arms.
What is it?
Brown spots and uneven skin pigmentation are ordinary aspects of the skin's aging process. These are small, level, discolored and dark patches that vary in size. They occur on skin areas exposed to ultraviolet light, such as the sun, tanning beds or sun lamps. These areas typically include the face, hands, shoulders and arms.
These spots are common among individuals of all skin types. However, they are most prevalent in adults (usually over 50 years old) with fair skin. Unlike freckles, these brown spots do not fade over time. Although they're harmless and don't necessitate medical attention, if you're unhappy with their appearance, our board-certified, physician-led teams at Chapel Hill Dermatology, can craft a customized treatment plan that will render your skin evenly-toned and glowing.
