Dark Spots In The Lower Leg. Mild Pain On Touching. What Are These?
I have had these weird dark spots on my lower legs for a few years now and I don't know what they are or how I got them. I've showed them to my doctors and they're clueless. When I first got them they were slightly painful to the touch (with a little pressure applied). I should note that they're no longer painful. Do you have any idea what these dark spots could be caused by? Or what type of doctor I should see for this situation?

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem.
It is difficult to diagnose only from your detail.
You need to consult dermatologist for it.
it may be due to shamberg disease or allergic dermatitis.
You need to apply good moisturizer 2-3 times a day.
Do not scratch or rub over the lesion.
you should wear cotton and loose cloths.
Avoid sun exposure and steroid application.
I hope I answered your question.
