Could be a fungal thing, in which case it’s an annoyance but nothing to worry about. My daughter has been fighting “splotches” on her back and neck for a couple years now. She treats them with a special wash and a cream from the dermatologist, and they clear up for a while, but they keep coming back. They’re dark splotches which “migrate” from place to place.
My daughter’s dark areas are not scaly, however — just dark.
Best of luck to you!
You may have just hit the nail on the head.
When she developed the first “splotch” I had just prior taken her to the dermatologist for an infection in her toenails caught at the swim club.
Fungi, if I remember correctly, are odd buggers to say the least. They eat, linger, sleep, and awake at their leisure ... especially during stressful times.
We were promptly warned then that so-called “country clubs” weren’t necessarily the cleanest of places.
Were the hospital here reliable, I would take her immediately. Unfortunately, my Dad was treated months for a kidney infection when all along he had lung and bone cancer.
Thank you all so very much for taking the time to reply. She’ll be seeing a dermatologist Tuesday. However, as any parent can understand, Tuesday seems decades away right now.
God Bless
