Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with discoloration and pain around the spinal area is the discoloration white or dark? I am suggesting you have a psoriasis caused by the following differential diagnosis
Spinal stenosis
Spinal cord compression
Spinal cord injury
Nerve root lesion
SLE
Cervical /Lumber spondylitis
Rheumatoid arthritis
In view of this please see a dermatologist specialist for expert clinical assessment Councelling and adequate drug prescription
I hope this helps
