Why is my shoulder and back itching dark?

Patient's Query

I have itching akin on my shoulder and back that becomes dark and its for many years. Itching has started last 10 days before

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Itching on your shoulder and back for so many years, and it's gotten darker recently. Itching can have various causes, like dry skin, allergies, or even a skin condition called eczema. The recent change in color could be due to increased scratching or inflammation. It's essential to have it checked by a dermatologist to rule out any serious concerns. In the meantime, try using a gentle moisturizer and avoid scratching to prevent further darkening.

I am using minoxidil since 2 month. After using this my hair line is more visible what can I do ?

Male | 25

This might happen sometimes as a side effect. Minoxidil could cause increased hair fall before new hair starts to grow. The most important thing is to wait because this shedding usually is temporary. If you are worried, it’s better to continue using the medicine as directed and consult your doctor for more advice.
