Could Dark Spots On Chest And Shoulder Be Due To Exposure To Sun?
I m a 15 year old male and I have had theese dark spots on my Chest and shoulder area I have had then for a couple of months they do not itch or anything. I play soccer so I am constantly exposed to the sun I have showed my parents but they do not seem too concerned but I would just like to know what are the spots and of they are harmful
According to your history it seems to be related to sun exposure. I don’t think they are harmful. I would recommend you to apply a broad spectrum sunscreen on the sun exposed areas 2-3 times during the day time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
