What are these mottled spots under the skin on my hands?

Well if you are old, it could just be common age spots or just brown spots that come as a result of tanning from the sun. Also, are they white by any chance? Having white spots could be due to tanning from the sun and discoloration. It could also be a disease called vitiligo.

If your hands have brownish spots on them they are known as liver spots or old age spots. Basically they appear because, as we age, the skin on our hands become thinner and they show the years of damage (i.e., sun exposure). Wear sunscreen on your hands.
