Small brown patch

2025-08-24 07:26:33
I have brown patch on my shoulder and back region. I got this twice before, every 2 years or so and it went when I applied kz ointment. Now I have it again. Never had any itching or burning sensation. Is it a recurring condition or anything serious to worry about? Can it turn into cancer?

I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed
