Spots
Types of skin spots
Freckles: Small, flat, tan, or light brown spots that often appear on sun-exposed areas of the skin. They are more common in individuals with fair skin.
Sunspots: Similar to age spots, these are dark spots on the skin caused by sun exposure. They are commonly found on the face, hands, and other areas exposed to the sun.
Moles: Moles are growths on the skin that can be brown, black, or flesh-colored. They can be flat or raised and are usually benign.
Birthmarks: These are spots or marks that are present at birth or develop shortly afterward. Birthmarks can vary in size, shape, and color.
Age Spots: These are flat, brown, or dark spots that develop on sun-exposed areas of the skin, often as a result of aging and sun exposure.
Cherry Angiomas: These are red or purple spots that are made up of small blood vessels. They are usually harmless but can be removed for cosmetic reasons.
