A member asked:
After excessive use of a heating pad to treat cramps i have gotten brown spots on my stomach. this was over a year ago and are not gone. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need diagnosis: A heating pad should not cause brown discoloration on the skin that have lasted for over a year. A visit to a dermatologist either in person or though a virtual visit on healthtap is advised. Once a cause is determined then a treatment plan can be designed.
