What Causes Dark Spots On The Chest And Stomach?
My daughter is 20 months old. She is Irish, Scottish, Trinidadian, Jamacian, and Japanese. She is a light brown, but she has dark brown spots all over her stomach and chest. What could this be? They don t seem to bother her, should I take her to a doctor?

Hello dear!
A picture of the spots would help m a little more in diagnosing the condition.
To me,it seems like cafe au lait spots.
In about 50% patients they are idiopathic but in other 50% they can be a sign of neurofibromatosis type 1.
I would recommend to get her checked by a pediatrician as soon as possible.
Hope it will help.
