Sharp Painful Indention On Upper Arm Which Turns White When Showering, And Looks Like Bruise In Winter. Cause?
I have had a indention thy literally looked like the state of florida on my right upper arm for prob 8 years that I can remember. In the summer time it will not tan... It turns white. Or when I take showers or baths that area stays white. In the winter it looks like a bruise. I just say its a birthmark. For about 3 years now it's been hurting... Like if I touch it there or hit it against something it's a really sharp hurting... What do you think

Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem.
It is difficult to comment about your skin problem only from your detail.
I need to see or examine it properly to make comment specifically.
It may be due to some allergic condition or birth mark also.
You need to take care of it,
Apply good sun screen when going out side and good moisturizer after bath in morning and in night.
It is better to consult dermatologist for proper treatment .
You can wear full cloths and hide it.
I hope I answered your question.
Let me know if you have any further query.
Regards
