Liver Spots
  • What Causes Them?
  • Consult a Physician
    		•

    Liver spot is a synonym for age spot . They are not associated with or caused by the liver. Liver spots are often seen on the face, the top of the hand, arms, and neck. These areas are the most common because they are the most exposed to the sun.

    What Causes Them?

    As the sun damages our skin, excess melanin forms deposits in our skin, causing liver spots. They are very effectively removed with laser treatment.

    Consult a Physician

    Any changes in the skin or coloration of spots should be looked at by a dermatologist as it may be a sign of skin cancer.
