Some dark black spots on my fathers hand...hi age is about 48..is it normal to have these things?

Hard to tell.: Without seeing these spots, it's impossible to tell. With age, many people develop spots on their skin. However, as one ages, the risk for serious skin cancers also increases. It would be best to have a dermatologist look at the spot. Good luck.
