What Causes Small Dark Patches On The Chest And Legs?
Over the past week I have had some odd symptoms that have appeared quickly. Firstly I have had small dark patches of skin appear on body, chest and leg mainly. Then today I see that my eyelids are turning white. I do not know whether these are linked or not but it is slightly concerning because this has happened within a week.

Hello,
It could be an amelanotic patch. We have to rule out other possibilities also.
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like Betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
