The medical term for these skin spots is lentigo, but people often refer to them as age spots or liver spots. Dermatologists say that these skin spots are not caused by the advanced age itself but they are actually large, smooth freckles that usually become visible due to the sunlight’s influence upon them. So, you might wonder why do they call them age spots after all? The answer is that these spots occur most often due to a lot of sun exposure during lifetime and they will become visible on the skin only with aging.

Age skin spots are round areas of a brownish color appearing especially on the back of the hands, on the shoulders, on the neck and even on the face.
