Hi,
Liver spots are in fact not related to any liver problem. They are due to exposure to donor aging spots. Need not be concerned about. It cannot be cured, only can fade up to a certain extent by treatment. Need dermatologist's consultation & avoid exposure to sun or protect from it. Take healthy diet & skin care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
