Dark patches on neck.
by AllisonS, Jul 26, 2007 01:58PM
My daughter is almost 15 and she has these dark patches on the back of her neck. I've been reading around and I've heard it might be signs of diabetes, so I'm really worried, plus she is a bit overweight, but I'm helping her with that.
She's had this for a few years now, but she would like to lose the dark discoloring on her neck before school starts. I've heard the Alpha Hydroxy cream might lighten it up a bit.
Any other suggestions?

I have had this on the back of my neck and was told that it was a fungal infection called pittyrisis versicolor (not sure of the spelling) I was advised to wash in shampoo called selsun.
When your daughter goes out in the sun does she also get patches of skin which don't tan as this is also a sign of the infection.
