I’m in my 60s, and over the past couple of years I’ve noticed more and more flat brown spots appearing on my face and forearms. They seem to deepen in color after being outside, even for short periods. The spots themselves don’t hurt, but seeing them grow in number has made me feel a bit self-conscious, especially when I catch them in bright light.
Some lighten significantly with time and treatment, while others may fade partially—your clinician can guide you on the safest options for your skin.
