Solar Lentigines treatment in Miguel Hidalgo

When spots appear on areas of skin exposed to the sun, the dermatologist is the specialist best suited to examine them, with the general practitioner as the first point of guidance. Solar or senile lentigines are flat, brown spots that appear in areas such as the face, hands, or forearms, associated with cumulative sun exposure over time.

How do they look? They are usually spots with defined borders, uniform color, and a smooth surface, generally without discomfort.

When is it worth having them checked? An evaluation is advisable if a spot changes in size, color, or shape, or if it raises doubts about its nature.

A dermatologic review helps to confirm that they are lentigines and to distinguish them from other skin lesions, so consulting whenever there is any doubt is the most sensible course.
