Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry about it. Darkness of skin at back of neck could be due to allergic reaction of skin to cloth or dust. In my opinion, you should do complete blood count with ESR levels and absolute eosinophil count to confirm the diagnosis. Review back with above reports. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care. Regards Chat Doctor.
