What are these brown spots all over my thigh? Should I look if the spots change in case of skin cancer? (Photo)

All my life I've had brown spots on my right thigh but not on my left. The spots travel up my thigh in a spiral shape. I've never asked about it because it never brought me pain or discomfort. What could this be? Should I look if the spots change in case of skin cancer? Thanks!

Answer: A resurfacing laser combined with a chemical peel can help even out skin tone.
