A member asked:

Dark gray brown spots on my exposed skin at 59?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Marks of maturity: The technical name is "lentigo" (plural: "lentigines"), and they are caused by many short exposures to sunlight over many years. Dermatologists treat them by freezing them with liquid nitrogen, or vaporizing them with various kinds of lasers.
