How can I get rid of dark scaly patches on my back? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Thanks for question. There are various causes of pigmentation on the back.

Some common causes include eczema with most inflammatory hyperpigmentation and other pigmentary disorders.

I think that it would be good to see your doctor/dermatologist for an examination to determine the underlying cause.

This is important as treating the underlying cause can prevent further marks from developing. Knowing the cause will also determine what is the most suitable treatment for removing the marks.
