Brief Answer:
Please describe details

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

This seems like a plaque. Maybe psoriatic plaque.
Can you let me know the symptoms in detail like location, itching, pain, is it growing, etc?

Does he have any other symptoms? Does he have any other skin conditions? Has he tried anything for this?

Please let me know the details so that I am better able to help.

Brief Answer:
Biopsy may help find cause

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Since there is no itching, it is less likely to be allergic or psoriatic type of plaque. More possibility of a fixed drug eruption (due to some medicine or vitamin) or lichenification in initial stages. You need to see a dermatologist for closer diagnosis and appropriate treatment. He may order some tests like biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.

Since your father does not have any other symptoms, it can easily be ignored. Need to watch it for any sudden growth, colour change or any other symptoms.

Hope it helps.
