I today noticed a dark spot on my shoulder while bathing. I'm not sure if it was present yesterday too or not. Should I be worried about this? Link to the image: url/a/bq8pnls it feels smooth to touch and I have no pain, maybe a little, unable to figure out. I have similar spots on my back that I cannot even properly see, two twice the size and some smaller and some remnants of pimples. All of the spots on my back are much lighter in colour. Not taking any medications and have no pre-existing/ diagnosed condition (except mild pain in my liver so planning on visiting a hematologist as soon as my exams end). Don't drink, don't smoke. Although, i, quite shamefully, had not been bathing regularly and I sweat quite a lot.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Some of the more common causes for changes in skin color are illness, injury, and inflammatory problems. Discolored skin patches also commonly develop in a certain part of the body due to a difference in melanin levels. Melanin is the substance that provides color to the skin and protects it from the sun. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
