Hello, about 4 weeks ago i went to key west and shortly after i returned a brown long line appeared on my thigh and i'm not sure what it is?

See a Dr ASAP: It may be nothing, but there are things that can get into us in 'tropical waters' that are potentially problematic and an exam/lab work may be a wise step. Don't worry, just find out what you can. BTW, you have really tried to wash it off right? It's not tar or something? Best!
