Sir. Black spot on my chest and back. What to do? What it causes?

Question

Black spots can be due to many different reasons, including genetic conditions, immune conditions, hormonal disorders, reactions to many different internal or external chemicals/medications/oils, sunlight etc. The very 1st step should be to figure out what is the reason for black spots in your case. Your dermatologist will need to perform a careful examination and if required, certain blood and skin tests to make a diagnosis.

Once the diagnosis is made, treatment can be planned specifically for you. Most black marks will take many months to go away even with proper prescription medicines from your dermatologist. However, some kinds of spots improve faster with newer techniques that we have invented using light, lasers and peels. Please meet a dermatologist who has the required qualifications and experience with these procedures.
