Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lentigines, also known as liver spots, age spots, or sun spots, are flat, pigmented spots on the skin that are typically brown or tan in color. They can appear on the face, hands, arms, and other areas that are frequently exposed to the sun. The term "liver spots" is a misnomer, as they have nothing to do with liver function or disease. The name likely originated from the similarity between the color of the spots and the color of the liver.
