a patient of mine is complaining about this pigmentation which he noticed more than a year ago, it was always the same size as he says, it's not painful nor itchy, therefore the main concern is cosmetic.

He's 25 years old and has a free medical and surgical history.

I think that it's Dermatosis Neglecta, but I'd like to know your opinion about it.
