Liver Spots

Liver Spots: Overview

Flat, brownish skin discolorations (solar lentigines) found primarily on the face, hands and arms are called age spots, sun spots and sometimes liver spots.  Although they have nothing to do with the liver, the name probably comes from their color and liver-shaped appearance.
