I have a brown discoloration on my upper back that sometimes itches, what should I do?

Try soaking in the tub with Epsom salt and see if that helps. You could also apply cortisone cream and see if that seems to help relieve some of the itchiness. If all else fails you are going to have to call the doctor to make sure it isn't something more serious, like skin cancer.

Make sure you are getting enough vitamins in your diet and in your supplements. Vitamins are crucial in your skin health. Also, make sure to have an organic lotion that you apply to it. Avoid tight fitting clothing. The brown color could be sun spots.

It is possible you have an itchy birthmark. However, it would be best to consult a physician or your local dermatologist to see if they can provide you with ointment.

You shouldn't try to treat something like this at home. It could be a melanoma, so time is of the essense.
