Velvety non-itchy flat spots on skin
What are these flat circular patches near and around my joints i.e. knees and elbows. The patches do not itch neither are painful. Simply dark coloured patches. Have been there for more than 2-3 years, some became light and these patches become dark on sun exposure.
