Hello
Thanks for the query.
Fungal infections can sometimes present as asymptomatic dark patches.
I treat such cases with oral and topical antifungal cream and have seen excellent response with these.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a proper diagnosis.
Waiting for your response.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
