Our attitude to just throw anything at a problem without really understanding the cause can be really nauseating. See them: KRDCROWN: Longman180: ekwerendi: Lloydokeke: Sorry to break it to you dearies but some of the differential diagnosis for dark patches could be fatal. Especially when it could be a melanoma. So don't just go throwing things at patches without knowing what they really are. Because it worked for Nnamdi doesn't mean it will work for Femi or Zuwaira. As for you OP, I can't really say what you have but if you have had a few as a child and now it's increasing. Then we can consider neurofibromatosis (cafe-au-lait patches ). It is least likely to be a Mongolian spot (birthmark) because you will have had the same spot since childhood. See another dermatologist for second opinion and discard advices like the ones quoted. If after all investigations it is found to be nothing, your dermatologist may want to consider laser therapy as a last resort. That is if you really want the spot out. You may want to consider of course trying this sort of therapy on a little spot and see the outcome. Please see a dermatologist again OP. 1 Like |

BoboKush:. You could have said our skin react differently, Its works for someone i know with skin issh, he has some strange dark boil on his face, tetmosol and aloe Vera gel do the trick, tetmosol Soap is good for itching in the skin and also for rashes in the body.... There are other antiseptic soap, but I use tetmosol, i will recommend it for OP... Happy Sunday |

DonMoel: Ette. You might have had the syphilis, way long before 2017, the dark spots start appearing when the 3rd stage of syphilis kicks in. And you mention of the fact that the spots don't scratch or itch. Guess what? That's exactly the symptom of late stage latent or neurosyphillis. The spots don't itch, even when the first sore comes out in the early stages of syphilis infection, the sore is usually painless and doesn't itch, making you likely to ignore it. The dark spots are actually a symptom of late stage and dreadfully fatal syphilis. Why not stop doing typical Nigerian "Nothing dey happen!" and go do the test, seminal culture, not VDRL and be sure. Dermatologists don't detect STDs 1 Like |

DonMoel: Happy Sunday. Ok. I think the issue here is something we call melasma. But before I go on..is it pure black or dark greenish patch? |
Re: Dark Patches On My Skin. Dermatologists, Please Help. by saeedbc(m): 12:11pm On Jan 19, 2020 |
It could be an adverse drug reaction. Your body might be allergic to a certain drug or spices that you take. Like septrin, aspirin, etc. I once had some dark patches on my skin too which some doctors prescribed different creams for me that did not work. Until I finally met a very good dermatologist who explained things to me. It was Sulphur that I am allergic to that was found in some anti malaria drugs and septrin I took . He advised me to stay away from them and even coke! Just try another dermatologist. |

Re: Dark Patches On My Skin. Dermatologists, Please Help. by Nobody: 4:22pm On Jan 19, 2020 |
DonMoel:Ok. Like I said, that black patch is melasma Caused by excess production of melanin ( homorne responsible for pigment of the skin) coupled with dead skin cells that have piled up over the years. Now the products you're using doesn't exforliate (get rid) of dead skin, that is why you have that dark patch and dull skin. You need an exfoliatng soap and cream. Then a special treatment cream to help inhibit melanin production on that part of your body. We could help you compound these products or teach you how to make it yourself just in case you're not within the same location. To cut cost. |

DonMoel: DonMoel:[quote author=DonMoel post=85903861]Dermatologists and the experienced ones in the house please your help is needed. I've been battling with this strange thing for upto 3years now. It all started in 2017. I could see some dark patches on my body which looks as though they are under my skin. I HAVE VISITED THE STATE SPECIALIST HOSPITAL to see a Dermatologist. I was told to do several tests which I did. After submitting the whole results, the doctor said nothing was wrong but it's just a skin allergy. She recommended a cream and since then I have been using it. It's more than a year now but no changes. It's seen on my laps down to the feet. Has anyone experienced this before ? I'd appreciate possible solutions to this please as it's making my skin look annoying.[/quote Click on the link below for skin related issues.

Re: Dark Patches On My Skin. Dermatologists, Please Help. by Prognose: 4:15am On Jan 20, 2020 |
DonMoel: @melasma usually occurs on the face of pregnant women or those who are taking contraceptives. It is not widespread like this. If it was reaction to sulphunamides like someone else suggested, that one either presents as isolated large circumscribed rashes or full blown steven-johnson's syndrome. So it's not that either. I would have gone with the syphilitic rashes if u had said it is also on the palm of your hands. You didn't snap your palms for us to see so we can't know. Another idea could be seborrhoeic dermatitis. But it appears like a follicular lesion. The best thing to do would be to get a second opinion from another dermatologist. |
