Should I Consult The Doctor For The Dark Patch On The Back And Toes?
My husband is 65 and I noticed his back has a dark band between his shoulder blades from his shoulders to his waist. It gets narrower at his lower back. I have also noticed his toes are darker then his foot color. His toes are somewhat purple looking. Could this be serious and should he consult a doctor?
Hello, Thanks for the query, He might be suffering from cutaneous amyloidosis, It is collection of proteinaceous material in skin. Dark coloration is the only problem which happens in this. There will not be any other symptom. Treatment is with peels and derma abrador. A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubt. you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link. http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818 Wishing you a good health.
