Age spots in and of themselves are not cancerous or dangerous, but since they are often caused by excessive sun exposure, those who have a significant amount of age spots generally have an increased risk of developing skin cancer.  At the Center for Surgical Dermatology, we recommend visiting your dermatologist for an annual skin cancer screening to keep an eye on any suspicious moles or any changes on the skin. Contact us to schedule your skin cancer screening in Westerville, OH, with our experienced board-certified dermatologists today!
