at 16 years of age or at any age waiting for a diagnosis related to liver symptoms is upsetting and scary. liver disorders can strike at any age and even in people who live a clean and healthy life. your doctor should have explained the possible causes of your symptoms as they relate to the black spots. it is not possible to determine the causes of your liver spots until further testing is completed but the possible significance of the spots could have been discussed. with that said please do not listen to well-meaning individuals suggesting a fatty liver as your problem. for the record most people have some degree of fatty liver. here are my two suspicions regarding your case: inflammation responses; non-cancerous and cancerous tumors (please note that it is unusual to have cancer originating in the liver. known as primary liver cancer). i recommend that you receive more information from your doctor surround yourself with the best and most open medical professionals have as many radiologic tests done as possible help to keep the diagnostic testing moving as swiftly as possible to reduce large gaps of time when you are just waiting and thinking talk about your feelings to family and friends and maintain a positive spirit. i wish you well during this period of medical uncertainty.
