Dark Spots On Stomach Spreading To Chest. What Could It Be?

Hi Doctor,
I have these dark, rough, spots on my stomach and it started to appear around a year and half ago, but now it is slowly spreading and has reached my chest and it is right between my pecs. I have used cocoa oil and cocoa butter but they don't seem to help. I have started to take cold shower in case it is from hot water burning my skin dry and thus spots appearing. Please help me.
