Scaly patch of skin on back
I am very light skinned amd have many moles and when i go outside i usually burn really badly. I have several larger moles with little discoloration, but they have never changed or evolved, so I have not gotten them checked out. The other night while working, i went to itch my back and felt a rough spot. When i got home i went to look at it and its half a shade darker then my natural tone. It looks and feels very rough and scaly. It doesnt hurt but does itch. Should i be concerned?
If you are light skin you just use sunscreen in morning and day time, whenever you go out try to apply it atleast half an hour before going out. Try to buy a good medicated sunscreen in gel based if your skin is oily. Regarding patch is it on only one part of body or any where else too
