What Causes Dark Patch Of Skin Between Eyebrows?

Hello, my husband has a dark patch of skin about 3.5cm diameter in between his eyebrows. Doesn t hurt but looks like a deep bruise and has been there for months. Has tried salacylic acid, not gone. Also cortisone cream, not gone. Looks to me like a fungus?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dark patch of skin between eyebrows. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like seborrheic keratosis , freckles or lentigenes. I would suggest you to apply ice compresses , protect it from direct sun light , take anti histamine like benadryl and do not apply any cosmetic product on it . Also apply kojic acid cream twice a day . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor examine physically or may take sample for lab test . Doctor may prescribe retinoids or recommend chemical peeling .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
