HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such skin color changes could be nonspecific this could be hyperpigmentation and underlying cause of this need to be investigated some time this could be due to some systemic disease some kind of blood disorder may be likely, in such case complete history need to be elicited for clinical diagnosis, right from the age and gender and these are missing here, on tentative basis, "Hydroquinone cream can be used" hope this information helps, take care.
