Q: i.ve read that dark spots in pubic area could be bowens disease, cancer, hpv though i was negative for hpv yrs ago?

: At your age, HPV is a very unlikely cause of this problem. There are many causes of brown skin spots -- in the pubic area or anywhere else -- other than Bowen's disease, skin cancer, or other HPV infections. See a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendation. Good luck.
