Skin Pigmentation on Back

Thanks for asking that question! Unfortunately, there is no way to make an accurate diagnosis with a photograph alone. However, if it is a "benign" or non-cancerous/precancerous patch of skin, Fraxel laser treatments work wonderfully in my experience. Seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who offers this procedure and get a formal consultation. Best wishes!
