Solar lentigo diagnosis. Close-up of a solar lentigo on the cheek of a 46-year-old man. This flat brown patch of discolouration is caused by excessive production of the skin pigment melanin. Lentigo spots are thought to be caused by exposure to sunlight. They are benign,but sometimes they can develop into a slow-growing form of skin cancer. For a close-up view of this solar lentigo being measured,see image C025/8070. For a view of this solar lentigo and the patient's face,see image C025/8068 | |
