Age spots are actually clinically known as seborrheic keratosis, also known as basal cell papilloma, which is the most common benign epidermal proliferative tumor in the elderly and may occur in relation to sun exposure and chronic inflammatory stimulation. The use of garlic is not able to get rid of age spots. Garlic is first of all a local irritant to the skin and if used repeatedly, it may cause contact dermatitis or skin allergy. Age spots usually do not require treatment, but if they become larger and more numerous within a short period of time, or if the color distribution is uneven, or even if there is pain and other abnormalities, surgical removal and pathological examination are required. Age spots generally have no effect on health, and if patients have cosmetic needs, they can consider laser freezing and other methods to get rid of them.
