Hi ladies,
I'm wondering if anybody has had this happen? About 4 years ago I noticed a very very small patch of skin on my cheek getting darker. At first I thought it was just dry skin so I didn't think anything of it. It didn't go away, so I thought it might be a bacterial infection, so I got anti-bacterial cream. Nothing worked, not even prescription meds. So I go to the dermatologist a few months ago and she says it looks like that area of the skin has lost collagen and electrolytes. I'm concerned because the area is slowly getting larger. But I'm also only 23 years old. Aren't I too young for this to be happening?
She referred me to a specialist but I haven't seen the specialist yet. Does anyone know what this is caused from?
TIA!
