Sunspots, also known as solar lentigines, age spots, liver spots, or bintik matahari, are a type of skin hyperpigmentation. They can affect anyone regardless of age, but tend to be more common in individuals around 40 years old, due to excessive UV exposure from sunlight. Sunspots occur when skin cells that produce the pigment melanin are overproduced as a result of UV exposure.

Sunspots arise due to excessive exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which triggers excessive activity in the skin's pigment cells. When the skin is directly exposed to sunlight, the production of melanin automatically increases as a response to protect the skin from harmful UV rays. Apart from sunlight exposure, artificial sources of UV such as UV lamps and tanning beds can also have similar effects. Excessive exposure to sunlight or UV radiation can permanently alter the production of skin melanin, resulting in the accumulation of melanin in specific areas, leading to the formation of black spots.

1. Using creams and lotions Skin doctors generally recommend sunspot care products that contain active ingredients such as azelaic acid, vitamin C, glycolic acid, kojic acid, and retinoids. 2. Skin treatment procedures Various skin treatment procedures can help fade sunspots, including laser treatment, cryotherapy, microdermabrasion, and chemical peel.
