Brown spots, also known as age spots and liver spots are curable once you know the root cause for them in the first place. They can be removed, but if precautions aren’t taken to remove the root cause then it’s probable that they will simply reappear. Despite being called “liver spots”, it is generally accepted in the dermatological world that they aren’t necessarily a sign of liver malfunction or poor health. The cause of Brown Spots The underlying biological process that causes brown spots is primarily the overproduction of the pigment, melanin. What causes the body to produce excessive amounts of melanin varies somewhat. In the majority of cases, melanin overproduction is caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight but in rarer instances melanin can be overproduced when women take birth control pills or when menopausal women take Hormone Replacement Therapy.

No, they are not considered indicative of poor internal health although it is an obvious sign that the skin is damaged likely by free radicals. The extent of the damage depends on the darkness of the spots and the frequency of which they appear. Read more...
