Which term describes small yellow-brown spots on the skin?

Lentigo
Pigmentation
Freckles
Stains

The correct answer is: Lentigo

The term that describes small yellow-brown spots on the skin is lentigo. Lentigo refers specifically to flat pigmented spots that can vary in size and are usually associated with sun exposure or aging. These spots are often seen in individuals with fair skin and can appear on various parts of the body. Other options like pigmentation can refer to a broader concept of skin color changes and does not specifically denote small spots. Freckles are typically small brown spots caused by sun exposure and tend to be lighter in color compared to lentigo. Stains can refer to a variety of discolorations on the skin but do not specifically describe the characteristics of yellow-brown spots. Therefore, lentigo is the most accurate term for this description.
