While age spots themselves are typically harmless and don’t need medical treatment, they can look a lot like skin cancer. That’s why it’s important to regularly monitor the spots on your body and take note of any unusual changes. Things to look out for include new spots or spots that change colour or shape over a period of weeks or months, sores that are crusty and don’t heal, or spots that look different to others on your skin.
Please see your doctor for a more comprehensive check-up.
