How to Get Rid of Age Spots (or Liver Spots) and Avoid More – What to do about those brown spots on your skin + how to avoid getting more. Your doctor has told you that those brown spots that appeared suddenly on your skin are nothing to worry about – they are simply age spots. That’s great news. But if you don’t like how they look, you might be wondering how you got those spots, how can you get rid of them and how to avoid getting more. Age spots, which are sometimes called liver spots or solar lentigines, happen after exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, says dermatologist Amy Kassouf, MD. They can be tan, brown or black, vary in size and usually appear on the areas most exposed to the sun such as the face, hands, shoulders and arms. (From Wellness and Health Tips)
