What Are Liver Spots

We will refrain from delving into the radical medical portion of these attractive age spots. Thus, as stated simply.

Age spots or sunspots are flat brown or black spots appearing on the body mainly upon aging and may be referred to as liver spots.
Such skin changes occur because of long contact with UV radiation from sunlight that stimulates pigment increase.
The name of these spots could be deceiving as they do not relate to the liver.
Such blemishes are mostly harmless, although they may be considered a cosmetic problem.
These usually come out in areas of sun exposure, which includes the face, hands, shoulders, and arms.

Differentiate Between Liver Spot & Melanoma Spot

While embracing our skin, it is important to understand and differentiate between liver spots and melanoma spotsspots.

Liver spots are often age-related and benign skin discolorations that come from excessive exposure to the sun. Or they could also be solar lentigines or simply age spots. They are usually not life-threatening and emerge due to excessive sunbathing.

Melanoma is a different type of skin cancer that could have originated from cells known as melanocytes. To differentiate between benign liver spots and potentially cancerous melanomas:

Color and Shape

Generally, liver spots are of one color: tan, brown, or black. Sometimes melanomas are not evenly colored, and variations are seen in dark brown, black, blue, or red. In addition, the shape of melanomas is irregular.

Borders

Benign liver spots usually have clear margins. On the other hand, melanomas may have irregular, ill-defined, or scalloped borders.

Size

Liver spots are usually small and about the size of a freckle. These melanomas are characteristically bigger than they usually appear, growing slowly in most instances.

Evolution

Monitor trends and changes over time. Melanomas can develop, changing color, size, and shape, while liver spots just stay constant.

Itching or Bleeding

Melanomas are often itchy, tender, and bleed. Thus, if one experiences these signs, they should seek medical attention.

Location

These melanomas are often found in places where the skin receives no sunlight, e.g., palms and soles. Sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, and shoulder commonly get liver spots.
