Definition – Age Spots

Posted Jan 19 2010 10:07pm

You probably know what age spot look like -those brown, red, or even black spots that usually occur in aging skin.

Age spots are also called liver spots and can be named solar lentigines and, quite rudely, senile freckles.  They occur most often in areas where the sun hits, like the back of the hands, shoulders and face. They tend to occur in those over 40, but can also be found on younger people too.

To prevent age spots, stay out of the sun and always use a sunscreen.
