What are the causes of age spots?
Hyperpigmentation, also known as age spots, is the darkening of an area of skin. Causes of hyperpigmentation include sun damage caused by UV exposure, hormone fluctuation due to pregnancy or menopause, and skin injuries such as acne scarring. Age spots mostly appear in areas consistently exposed to sunlight, such as the back of the hands, neck, chest and face. Certain skin types may be more susceptible to hyperpigmentation than others.
