Lentigo is a small pigmented spot on the skin with a clearly defined edge. Lentigos are skin disorders associated with aging and exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. They are most often located in sun‑exposed areas, particularly the hands, face, shoulders, arms, forehead, and the scalp if bald.
In the majority of cases, lentigos pose no threat and require no treatment, although they can occasionally obscure the detection of skin cancer. Despite being a non‑life‑threatening benign condition, lentigos are sometimes considered unsightly and are removed.
