Suggest Home Remedy For A Dark Patch On The Chest
Hi,
I'm a 19 year old male. A dark patch started to appear on my chest during my early teens. The patch was not present during birth. There is no abnormal pain/sensation when the patch is touched. It looks like the rest of the skin except for a darker color. Because of this I feel uncomfortable to take my shirt off. Can you please suggest a home remedy for this?
