dark cream colour - #15300

Agastya

I am seriously freaking out over this change I’ve noticed on my skin. Outta nowhere, I started seeing these really weird patches that are a dark cream colour, like a tan mixed with dark brown, and I can’t figure out what’s going on. It all started about a month ago when I was on vacation, just chilling at the beach, and now I have these spots appearing on my arms and legs. At first, I thought maybe it was a reaction to the sunscreen or something, but now I’m not so sure. I definitely did not have any issues before. Has anyone else dealt with skin that's gone this dark cream colour where it wasn't before? It's kinda alarming because it seems to be spreading a little. I went to my doctor, but they said that it could be a few things like hyperpigmentation or maybe even some kind of fungal issue? They didn’t really explain it well and just told me to monitor it. I’m worried that if this dark cream colour spreads more, it’ll be noticeable and embarrassing! Can anyone share what this might be? How do you even treat skin that's turning that dark cream colour? I just wanna feel normal in my own skin again! Any tips or experiences would really help, I’m just feeling lost here.
