Hello,
The sudden appearance of dark spots can be related to melanin pigment disturbances particularly when there is no pain or associated issues of other systems.
There are certain cases of sun sensitivity too presenting this way. He must be addressed with an expert skin specialist for the proper evaluation and further guidelines.
