What Could Spreading Discoloration On Back Indicate?
Hello, I am 31 year old male. I noticed that I have some discoloration on my back that appears to spreading wider. Not sure what it could be. I work out and I sweat, etc. What could it be or the cause of it and what can I do to remedy this problem. Thanks

Hello I understand Your concern.
AS you mentioned that you work out and sweat, this discolouration is may be due to Vitiligo or Vitamin B Deficiency. You are not having any other symptoms or so. As your lesion is increasing in size, my advice is you should visit the dermatologist and get your physical examination done. Accordingly your management can be planned. Meanwhile you can take vitamin B complex twice daily for 10 days.
