What Causes Black Skin Serous?
My mother has a kind of wart growing by her right collar bone, But since she keeps touching it, it developed a black color around it. I had already used betadine solution to avoid infections about 3 weeks ago. She is 92 and about 5 years ago she had a cancerous skin growth on her forehead removed. She is on Coumadin and is an atrial fibrillation patient. Is the black skin serous?

Hi,
Your mother might be suffering from post inflammatory hyperpigmentation because of constantly irritating the lesion. If possible please send us the photograph for confirmation of diagnosis and proper treatment.
Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.

Dr. Atishay Bukharia
