Brown Spots On Body, Increasing With Age. What Could Be This?
i have a brown spot on the outside of my upper leg not very large, i have lots of brown spots all over me, i am 76 by the way, the older there are more spots. I had them in my 30s so they aren't age spots. anyway this particular spot has probably been there for some time but has become annoying. also when i sit on something harder than the chesterfield my upper leg near the spot tingles a bit. i was to a dermatologist & all he said was to put cream on it because it is dry, he didn't feel around it or suggest a biopsy. should I be worried. he was not the greatest.

Hi, It may well be that you are getting liver spots on your body. In the vast majority of cases, liver spots pose no threat and require no treatment. However, despite being a benign condition, liver spots are sometimes considered unsightly and some people choose to have them removed. This can be done by electrosurgery, laser treatment or cryotherapy. So if you could elect for treatment to have them removed. I hope this answered your question.
