The dark patches behind your ear and on your upper chest, which have been growing slowly over the past year, could be:

*Possible Causes*

1. *Melasma*: Hormonal changes can cause dark patches, especially on the face and chest.

3. *Seborrheic Keratoses*: Benign growths that can appear as dark patches.
4. *Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)*: A benign condition characterized by dark, velvety patches.

*Next Steps*

3. *Treatment options*: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include topical creams, oral medications, or minor surgical procedures.

Question 5

I've noticed a dry patch and peeling on my left scrotum, kind of like a dandruff scalp. It got worse for a bit and then stopped. Now the skin feels a bit harder, looks lighter, and has these small boils. Any idea what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Consult a healthcare provider or a dermatologist to get an accurate diagnosis, especially since you've noticed a change in the skin texture and color.
Avoid scratching or irritating the area further as it can worsen the condition.
Proper hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.
If it is a fungal or bacterial infection, your doctor may recommend appropriate medications.
