Hello. : Hello. What is commonly referred to as liver spots or dark spots is solar lentigo. It usually forms on skin areas that are exposed to the sun, like your hands and face. The color can range from light brown to black. It is caused by aging and sun exposure – not due to liver damage. With your medical history, if you are actually referring to a diagnostic study of your liver; i would ask your physician for specific input.

"dark spots": Doesn't mean anything medically. Depends on what kind of scan you are talking about - an ultrasound, liver scan, ct scan etc. If you have cirrhosis, it means some doctor has determined that your liver is scarred, and the scarring can produce "nodules" that may look like dark spots. There is treatment available and you should strongly consider it. If you drink alcohol, stop. Good nutrition helps.
