Thank you for your question.<\/p>\n
The best way to determine what is causing the dark patches, is to have them examined by a doctor.<\/p>\n
Your doctor will be able to look at the extent of the rash, whether the skin is broken and to take a history of what the cause might be. He\/she will also be able to refer you to a skin specialist if this is necessary.<\/p>\n
