Age Spot

What used to be called liver spots (since they were once believed to have something to do
with liver function) are small and generally harmless tan, brown, or black spots on the
skin where pigmented cells have clumped together. You may choose to have a
dermatologist remove your age spots, but the following remedies can help fade them.
