Keratosis

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You have recently been diagnosed with keratosis of the skin. This is a benign skin condition and is not anything to worry about. They occur as we get older and are dark brown to black patches that look stuck on your skin. They are benign and well never turn cancerous. You can have them removed for cosmetic reasons but they usually reappear.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
