What Causes Age Spots?

Seborrheic keratoses are harmless spots that often appear tan or brown and may feel slightly rough. These spots typically begin to surface in your 30s and become more common with age. Also called “sun spots,” these blemishes are primarily caused by prolonged sun exposure, though they can also have a hereditary component.

Are Age Spots Correlated with Skin Cancer?
Thankfully, seborrheic keratoses are non-cancerous. However, it’s critical to distinguish them from other potentially concerning growths. If you notice any new or changing spots, you should schedule an appointment with the skincare experts at Northstar Dermatology. Changes in size, color, or symptoms like bleeding could signal malignancy.
Age Spot Treatment Options

The primary treatment for seborrheic keratoses is cryotherapy using liquid nitrogen. Electrodesiccation (cautery) may also be used, depending on the type of lesion. These procedures are typically quick and can be done during an in-office visit. However, insurance generally does not cover the removal of asymptomatic seborrheic keratoses. In certain cases, a topical prescription may be provided as an alternative treatment.
