These unsightly spots are primarily the result of chronic sun exposure, as well as genetic predisposition. Contrary to common belief, they have nothing to do with the liver or directly with age, although one may get more as they get older due to cumulative sun exposure. In addition to the face and hands, lentigines can often occur on the chest, arms and any sun exposed areas.
