   • Wrinkles: I tell my patients that more than 90 percent of wrinkles associated with aging are actually related to cumulative sun damage. Collagen and elastin are proteins that make your skin firm, supple and resilient, but UV radiation from sun exposure can destroy them.
   • Broken blood vessels: Have you noticed some red, spidery veins around your nose and cheeks? Yes, those are caused by exposure to UV light. When people say they have “broken” blood vessels, that’s a misnomer.
   • Brown Spots: No matter how many times my patients tell me that they’ve had brown spots or freckles all their lives, I gently reply, “No, you haven’t.”
   • Hyperpigmentation: Patients often complain of blotchy or mottled skin, with evidence of dark and light patches. Sometimes there may be evidence of red discoloration as well.

   Aug 16, 2023 · Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. It is characterized by moles that increase in size, change in appearance, have irregular borders, are asymmetrical, or are uneven in color. Melanomas can develop anywhere on the body. By contrast, sunspots, also known as age spots or liver spots, are typically harmless.

   • The Risks of Catching Rays. It feels good to lounge in the sunshine, but it can hurt your health in the long run. Over the years, too much time outdoors can put you at risk for wrinkles, age spots, scaly patches called actinic keratosis, and skin cancer.
   • Suntan. A tan may look nice, but that golden color is due to an injury to the top layer of your skin. When you soak up the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, it speeds up the aging of your skin and raises your risk of skin cancer.
   • Sunburn (First-Degree Burns) There's no guesswork about whether you've got a sunburn. Your skin turns red, it feels hot to the touch, and you may have some mild pain.
   • Sunburn (Second Degree) A second-degree sunburn damages deep layers of your skin and nerve endings. It's usually more painful and takes longer to heal.

   Can Sunspots cause melanoma?

   • Sunspots are often difficult to tell apart from skin cancers. Additionally, some studies have suggested that age spots are associated with an increased risk of skin cancer, though the mechanism isn’t understood. One theory is that people with sunspots are more likely to have sun damage, which also puts them at risk for melanoma.
