I'm really concerned about my 7-year-old son who's just started getting these sudden brown spots on his skin. The first one showed up behind his neck, then another near his collarbone, and now there's one on his ribs. There's no itching or pain, and theyre just plain brown, no other colors like blue or anything. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
