Hi,

I’m a white female, 24. imageI’ve had discolouration on my stomach for as long as I remember. It’s a large patch of speckled brown (quite light brown...but dark compared to the rest of my skin).

I’ve looked at various birthmarks, and it doesn’t seem to fit. As such, I was wondering if there is something else it may be and if there is a way to get rid of it?

Thanks in advance

    Did you have this when you were born? I'm sure you would have asked your Mum about it if it was. If so, its a nevus

    Is it rough or dry to touch?
