Lower leg turning black color and scales

2022-09-06 15:56:56
I have noticed that my lower leg is turning black in color with scales like texture used to be itchy but not anymore. Have checked internet and found something related to ichthyosis vulgaris but not sure. This black color and scale like texture is only present in lower leg. What this could be ?
