Brown spots on my arms what are they??

Question

I noticed that I got some brown spots on my arms, nose and cheeks they almost look like freckles but their not. What are they should I be concerned? How can I get rid of them? I should also mention that I hardly ever wear sunscreen when it's hot.

Answer 1

Well since you don't wear sunscreen, they are probably sun spots. You shouldn't be too worried, but you might want to start wearing sunscreen before it turns into skin cancer.

Answer 2

What is it about them that makes you think they aren't freckles? Are they darker? Have they been there always, or are they new? If they're new, I'd say they're probably freckles (you get more of them with sun exposure, so go with sunscreen if you don't want them). If they're not new, they are likely what I would call "moles." Not a big deal; lots of people have them.

Keep an eye on them. If they get bigger, are larger than a pencil eraser, have an irregular border, are asymmetrical, or aren't uniform in color, it's time to get them checked.

Answer 3

Probably freckles or what they now term 'age spots' shock horror. By all means get them checked out, rule out any future skin problems but wear sunscreen.

Answer 4

They are either age spots or cause by a disease like Lupus or rheumatoid arthritis so you need to get checked

Answer 5

Answer 6
