What is the common term for lentigines?

  1. Birthmarks

  2. Freckles

  3. Warts

  4. Age spots

The correct answer is: Freckles

The correct term for lentigines is commonly recognized as age spots. Lentigines are usually flat, brown spots that often appear on the skin as people age or due to sun exposure, leading to the more colloquial name "age spots." While freckles are similar in appearance—small, brownish spots that appear on sun-exposed skin—the term 'freckles' is typically used for those found in children and is influenced by genetic factors rather than age. Thus, when considering the most appropriate and widely accepted term that directly corresponds with lentigines, age spots is the most accurate choice.
