Hello doctor! i have been observing brownish discolored patches on the lateral aspect of my lower limbs, on both the legs. there is no itching,pain?

Possible Infection: It is very difficult to diagnose dermatologic conditions without a good history and direct observation or images. A very common cause for dark patches on lower extremities can be a fungal skin infection. Can be treated easily with topical anti-fungals.
