What Causes Black Patch On The Legs?
Hi, I waxed about a week and a half ago and I didn t notice before but not I have this dark patch behind my leg. It s like how the wax falls on the skin then when the actual stick is on. There is a patch like that on the back of my leg. And after a few hours it was night time so I wore shorts. I m not sure what happened but it doesn t hurt it just there like a scar or birth mark. It s along the back of my thigh and it s very noticeable. My question is would it come off? Would I get my skin to the natural color?

You need to consult with a dermatologist for your problems. It can be anything and very difficult to diagnose from your history. Don't worry.
