Dark and dry patches on skin

2018-04-16 04:42:39
Hello doctor, I have dark and dry patches on my shoulder, side chest and upper bicep (close to chest). I think it's out of sweat I have had itches in these places first then they became reddish in colour and now there are these patches. What are these and how do I treat them? Thanks in advance
