Answer by  Aubs (1089)

Time spent in the sun is a number one factor in most age spots or mysterious spots. Do you tan a lot or spend a lot of time in the sun with little or no SPF? Areas like the knees, face, and hands are susceptible to spots from skin damage. You might try to get them checked by a dermatologist.
