Dark patches on skin

I used to have a unibrow and resorted to plucking hair between the eyebrows and over time some patches have formed on my skin in that area. Can this be treated?

Greetings. Yes this patches may have caused due to irritation and superficial injury to skin tissue.  You may need creams with anti inflammatory properties and then possibly skin lightening agents to get back you normal skin color and texture.  See a  qualified dermatologist near you for assessment and further personal prescription.
