Q: Skin. ...thing

I have this bit of skin discoloration around my neck.. As far as I know I am (not) allergic to anything. I havent had any diet changes and I dont have anymore stress than normal. The bit of discolored skin seems a tad less smooth, almost dry compared to the rest of my skin. It doesnt itch, sting or cause any kind of discomfort. I didn't even know it was there until I noticed it in the mirror. Now that I did notice it i'm not sure how long it's even been there. Any ideas what this could be? How I can get rid of it?

Does your skin react in any way to contact? When you scratch your skin, is there a flush, flare or a wheal reaction at the area? By looking at your pictures it might be something similar to dermatographia, where a course of antihistamines would help you out.

I couldn't bring up your pics so I don't know what we're looking at here, but I am allergic to nickel which is basically in every kind of jewelry. Whenever I wear a necklace my neck breaks out. Mine typically itches though. Just an idea! Also whenever I wear my wool coat and it rubs on my neck I break out.
