I've been experiencing a skin issue where my neck has been significantly darker than the rest of my skin for about five years now. Recently, I've also noticed that I'm starting to get darkness around my nose. It's really been bothering me, and I'm curious about what might be causing this. Could there be an underlying reason for these pigmentation changes, and what can I do to address them?
