This could be due to various reasons such as skin pigmentation or a mole. Without a physical examination, it is difficult to give a precise diagnosis. However, if it is a pigmentation issue, he can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily. If it is a mole or concerning lesion, he should consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and possible removal.
