What Causes A Discolored Patch On The Lower Back?
My 24 year old daughter who is quite petite, works as a CNA. She has a discoloration on her lower back. It s a swath about 5-6 inches wide, and goes from right side to left side. Nothing on her stomach. It s not a raised rash and it does not itch. Is this possibly from muscle strain?

Hello,
It may be due to blunt trauma
For further assessment, I would suggest you to consult with orthopedician for detailed examination
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
