Many people ask, “what do liver spots look like?” The answer is that they often look similar to freckles, especially when it comes to liver spots on the face. Unlike freckles, however, age spots won’t fade, though they do look similar. Liver spots look like flat areas that are darker in pigmentation than the surrounding skin. They are usually brown in color but can range from light tan to very dark brown. They can be very small or reach diameters of up to a ½-inch. Many people have a grouping of liver spots in one area, which makes them more noticeable. Fortunately, there are some liver spots treatment options that can help you control and fade the spots you already have. At the same time, good prevention techniques will help you avoid getting any more age spots.
