Hi. I am 54 and about 6 months ago I noticed a skin discoloration in the area of the left arm pit and very recently I found the same colorless spot in the throat right under my chin. These spots are odd shaped about 2" long 1" wide and look paler than the surrounding skin. There are no symptoms, juts a cosmetic effect so far. What may be the cause for this condition?

Hey, I get the same thing. I'm not sure why, but they're by my mouth and nose area. They're annoying as heck! I'm not sure what causes them, nut I'm pretty sure they're harmless, I've had mine for years now. Try talking to a dermatologist or a doctor.
