  • Summary

  • Sun spots, or solar lentigines, are dark, scaly patches of skin caused by overexposure to the sun's harmful UV rays. These spots are a result of the skin's attempt to protect itself from damage by overproducing pigment. While sun spots are not typically cancerous, they are considered precancerous and can indicate sun damage that may lead to skin cancer if not addressed. Preventive measures, such as wearing sunscreen and protective clothing, are crucial in controlling further damage. Thanks to advancements in medical technology, treating and removing sun spots is now easier than ever. However, it's important to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment options, as some methods may have side effects or require professional supervision. Taking proactive steps to protect the skin from sun exposure and seeking professional advice can help manage and prevent the development of sun spots, ensuring healthy and radiant skin.
