No I haven't had any discharge and I do have thyroid disease. At this time there is a little bit of itching and my breast hurt as if my menstruation was coming but I was surprised of the pigmentation, because i got that between my breast and on my face only on my three pregnancies.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your reply

Looking at your short description this might be related to skin pigmentation disorder. I still need a photograph to narrow the diagnosis. In my opinion this seems to be treatable condition with depigmenting ointment and supportive treatment

I would advise you to consult a dermatologist for clinical examination and definitive treatment. Some hyperpigmentation lesions are associated with hormonal disturbances and medical conditions like diabetes, etc. Thus a detailed laboratory testing may be required.

Hope this answers your question
Best wishes
