Hi hera0099, welcome!

I'm sorry hon, I don't know. Did anything in your life change (diet, illness etc.) about the time you noticed the discoloration? Is the area rough, flaky? Does it itch? It would be a good idea to have the area examined by your doctor and see what s/he says. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Hugs,

Hi hera0099,

Hon, you should at least have a diagnosis so you know what’s going on. If money's the problem your local public health clinic should be able to help or try a Planned Parenthood clinic they have means adjusted pricing. The PP clinic finder is: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/Zip.htm Let us know how you’re doing, ok?
