What Causes Dark Spots On The Torso?
For alnost a year now I have been seeing these dark spots on my torso. They would appear then dissapear but lower then before they dissapeared. There s multiple & spread out, they don t hurt, it s not itchy or dry. I m not allergic to anything that I know of. I also haven t tried anything new .I have no allergies. I have no serious medical conditions. I don t take any prescriptions. But I do have this rare skin condition called Dermatographia also known as Skin Writing. Do you have any suggestion or thoughts on what this might be?

Hi,
Black spots on your skin or elsewhere on your body are not a sign of recent HIV infection. You should see a dermatologist in order to find out the cause of any spots you may have. Dark spots on the face, chest, shoulders, and back of hands may be the result of prolonged exposure to the sun.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Monish De, Oncologist
