dark, dry spots on skin

i think a have them they look like dry dark skin and had them for 5 freakin years already have yours gotin away can u please help me get rid of them

did you find out anything i have something similar but it is only onmy breast all over my breast

Im having da same problem. My back, stomach, thighs, arms , and chest are covered in these dark spots. I tried bluestar ointment it didnt work. They really dnt itch for da most part but idk what 2 do.

Well i been having the same problem but its just on my all over my neck nd chest. It Black spots then they get dry nd start to pile. Im scared be cause i dont know wat it is. So i dont like doctors. Know im now tryin to look up reseach on it. Therefore, if i cant figurer it out next step it the doctor. Im Scared Tho.

Hi, I have read the posts and also checked Pityriasis rosea, which is common in young people.  This does not seem to be what it is,  I have these spots, they are dark, mine started to appear in my late 50's and a numBer of people I know of similar age have developed these spots, which leads me to believe that it is related to aging spots, and am wondering if it is a deficiency. Someone I know has had them removed with dry ice by someone who specialises in this area.  I will continue my research and keep you posted. ?

I am experiencing these spots on my skin as well and I thought it may be an allergic reation to something I am eating. Did anyone find out what it could be?

have you got rid of them or know what they are and why they happen

just take a bath as often as you can.... I believe you all are acidic like me... It's in our blood. so every time i start to sweat i change shirt or take a bath or half bath...sometimes i have to change my shirt 3-5x a day. The parts where you say it darkens is usually wet, moist, and itchy, very irritating...the answer for that is hygiene and proper diet(fruits, vegetables, and water or natural and fresh juices no junk foods and softdrinks-anything with chemicals...) try it for a month... see the changes.... the only thing you need is...hygiene, discipline and control....always make sure that the parts that darkens is always dry, always be clean... :-)

i saw some dark spot around my breast and in my underarms..it is going on increasing more. please tell me what is this.. i have high prolectine problem..

they are not big red , they are small and look like under your skin . kinda freckle-like but darker . they are all over my stomach and back and I think they're spreading, i have been to dermotologists but they have no idea what it is! Help!

I have similar dry skin dark spots. They don't itch or irritate me. I went to a dermatologist and she said it was in places where I sweat. She gave me an antibiotic. I'm not so sure about the perscription though. I looked up the medication (Minocycline) and there was nothing about what skin problem she mentioned. With all the possible side effects, I'm hesitant.

i am having the same issue right now

I could be a fungus.

Sounds like seborrheic keratosis. Non-cancerous dry rough skin spots. They are round or oval spots that almost looks like they are stuck on the skin.

I had a couple small ones show up on my bra line on my back and one very small one on my chest. Dematologist said if they were irritated the insurance would cover removing them, otherwise they aren't anything to worry about. But I looked a the pictures on line and want them gone and feel for some of the people that have this keratosis in a much much worse state...

I'm a college basketball player when I sweat I Get those same blotchy spots on my body but when I leave it don't run or workout it kind of goes away and fades... My doctor says its not tunes versicolor if u found something please let me know

I started getting these a year ago. I just assumed they were age spots that were dry since they mimic them. I have had an increase in the numbers from maybe 50 to 200 to 300 over the last few months. I googled to find out what they are. I came across this blog but then found the article below. I find the article describing my spots to the tee. Also, it is very scary but any change in my body whether skin or otherwise is scary and I have learned to be cautious and go to the doctor after ignoring breathing problems and found out I had a collapse lung that could have killed me. So off to the doctor I go with this article in hand. Good Tip! Take what ever you find out on the internet with you. It helps especially since I have to go to a primary care doctor first to be referred. It makes my doctor realize it maybe something else besides dry skin and refer me to a specialist faster.

My doctor stated it is mostly found in African Americans. It happens in the winter because the cold dries out the skin. Taking hot showers or baths contributes. I was prescribed a lotion and he said bathe in warm water 5 minutes or less.
