Old people get what my grandmother used to call “liver spots.” They come and go. I’ve had them on the back of my hand. I don’t now. Not a big deal.

Look closely at the pic, are they really “liver spots”? Or are they drip wounds?

Sure looks like a needle puncture in the middle of the wound.

That’s not a liver spot. I had the same type bruise on my right hand when getting an MRI and the technician didn’t do a good job on the IV when injecting the dye. It looked exactly like Biden’s.

Except that there is a puncture wound right in the center, so not a liver spot.

I've had several IV injections in the back of the hand. This picture is bruise evidence of such an injection site. It is NOT a liver spot.

Good to see that several, here, have explained how this is NOT a liver spot, on Joe’s hand.

No, *liver spots* do not come & go. They are permanent brown pigment deposits as evidenced by all the skin creams that purport to *fade* them (Those are acids and barely work and are not recommended for aged skin, which is already thin).

What you are remembering are senile purpura. I have had them and so has my husband. Just overusing your hands, getting a small knock or lifting something heavy can bring them on. They are hemorrhages just under the skin, usually on the forearms. They do not usually appear over the veins of the hand. They are bright red and as I look at one I got a couple of weeks ago, they do not necessarily turn colors like a surface bruise. They stay red or maybe pink. They vary from a scattering on red dots to huge blotches.

Biden has a typical IV needle bruise, complete with entry marks. There are no red pinpricks surrounded by bluish bruising on senile purpura. Sometimes, small red dots remain after they have otherwise healed.
