When should I call my doctor about age spots?

While age spots are not skin cancer, it’s important to have a doctor check your skin to make sure your age spots aren’t dangerous. You should visit your doctor if you notice new spots or spots that:

• Are very dark or have red or bluish spots or specks in them or are multicolored
• Change shape or appearance over time
• Have an irregular border
• Bleed, itch or feel irritated
