Any Ideas For Huge Dark Spot From Mid To Lower Back And Numerous Light Spots On The Stomach?

Hi, I have a huge dark spot from mid to lower back which is darker than my skin complexion and numerous light spots on my stomach which are lighter than my skin complexion. Have any ideas on what this may be? I've had for numerous years, mainly started appearing in my teens and now I'm 29. Please help.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
The large dark spot over the back could be a birthmark called Becker's nevus and it usually starts to develop in the adolescent age group. You may search google images for Becker's nevus and compare. The white spots on the stomach could be idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis. Both these conditions can be left alone.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
