child skin discoloration

child skin discoloration

My daughter was born with a large oval light brown mark on lt buttock. She is now 14 yrs old. Mark is now more hairy than surrounding area. She has recently developed 3 very irregularly shaped areas on front mid section of body of similar colour but rougher to the touch, also similar smaller patches on ankles. There is no itchiness or other discomfort. These patches have appeared quickly. She has normally very light coloured skin and dark hair and eyes, and is post puberty. Any thoughts on what it could be please?

May just be nutritional problem and these deficiencies can present with dry ichthyotic skin.Give her a course of multivitamins and vaseline applied externally.
