Brown spots, also known as hyperpigmentation or age spots, are common skin imperfections that can appear on the face, hands, arms, and other areas frequently exposed to the sun. These spots are typically flat, oval areas of increased pigmentation and are typically the color of tanned, brown, or black hair. They form when melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, is overproduced. Several factors contribute to the formation of brown spots, including prolonged sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, and certain medications. Understanding the causes of their formation can help in effective treatment and prevention of these spots.
