What Causes Sudden Brownish Bruise Mark At The Base Of The Head?
I ve been shaving my head for sometime with clippers so I generally don t even use a mirror to see the back of my head. Recently, several people who know me well have commented on the birthmark on the base of my skull area. I looked at it and it didn t used to be there. It s more brown than red, not raised, fairly consistent in color, slightly jagged at edges, irregularly shaped and not itchy at all.
