Can age spots harm health?

Yes. Of course, it does not necessarily mean that every age spot will turn into cancer, but there are several aspects you may want to keep in mind:

• Observe your age spots, and see if they are different in color, especially if some are much darker than others
• Look for any funky borders around the spots
• Pay special attention to any growing or changing spot
• If you notice that your brown spots have become red or tender, consult your doctor as soon as possible
