What Causes Dark Spots On The Knuckles Of A Child?
My 11 year old daughter has developed dark spots on her knuckles over the past month or so. Could this be a sign of a specific disease such as diabetes? She is not overweight, but there is a family history on both mine and my husbands side. The dark spots on on both hands.
