Question : Hello Doctor,
About two months ago, I started noticing brownish-black pigmentation on my neck. It’s gradually spreading and moving upwards toward my face. I would like to know what could be causing this, how I can reduce or treat it, and if there is any medication that might help. Is it possible for the pigmentation to completely disappear? And how long might it take?

Thank you.
