Answer:

"Those are senile lentigines and are common in older adults."

Explanation:

Senile lentigines are small darker areas of the skin (hyperpigmentation) that affect the face, hands, forearms, and other areas often exposed to the sun. They are more common in people over 40, but in some rare cases may occur earlier.

The correct term for senile lentigines is solar melanoses, which are dark brown to brown spots, usually small but can reach a few centimeters in size. They only appear in areas that are very exposed to the sun, such as the face, the back of the hands and arms, the lap and the shoulders. They are more common in fair-skinned and elderly people.
