Brown Spot On Right Elbow, Have Not Fell Anywhere. Should I Be Worried?
Today I just noticed a brown spot on my right elbow. I thought it might have been a scab but then I realized I haven't fell on my elbow in years that would have caused a scab. I tried scrubbing it off thinking it could have been sauce but it's not doing anything. I don't want to assume the worse but I also would like to know what it is so I can take correct care.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The brown spot on the elbow is related to a superficial skin pigmentation in the area. This could be a mild mole like thing on the skin. A direct examination is necessary for diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal
