• Small, Distinct Size: The spots are usually tiny, ranging from 1 to 3 millimeters in diameter, with smooth, clear boundaries.
• Flat and Smooth Texture: IGH spots sit completely flush with the skin—they are not raised, scaly, itchy, or painful.
• Sun-Exposed Locations: Most commonly found on areas with years of sun exposure, particularly the shins, forearms, shoulders, and upper chest.
• Prevalent in Adults: Spots tend to increase in number after age 40 as a natural cumulative effect of UV exposure and aging skin cells.
