Dark brown mark on the arm

2017-03-12 18:27:23
When I was very young there was a small infection happened which caused itching on my arm but after a year or 2 the itches had completely gone but the skin colour turned dark brown. It's been this way since last 15 years and there is no sign of improvement in colour. Please suggest! Thanks
