Slightly Darkened And Dry Patches On Collarbone Area, Dry Looking. Cause And Solution?
I have 2 slightly darkened and dry patches on my collarbone area. They are about 1 inch and are slightly dry looking. They have been there for about a year. I also have a darker patch on the back of my neck that also appears to be dry. This patch has appeared sometime in the summer. I was wondering what the possible causes could be and what potential solutions exist.

Hi, it appears to be eczema or contact dermatitis probably due to some chain, which usually wont wear, and have used in summer.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
