Does anyone know what this is?

I have had several brown spots pop up on my skin this summer. They don't itch or hurt in any way. I don't believe they are sunspots or age markings, I'm only 30 for one, and also, they are only appearing under where my bra is and on my upper abdomen. I don't know if it's a reaction to heat, since I spend a lot of time outside, and am rather well endowed or what. Has anyone had this same thing happen? I have had eczema symptoms in the past, as well as skin allergies, but this is unlike anything I've ever had.

I have actually tried an over the counter anti-fungal, which has done nothing so far. Thank you for answering so quickly!

So...they are appearing in areas that aren't exposed to sun? Might be a fungal infection then. Often these won't itch at all. They could also be freckles or other sun damage if they are in areas that did have sun exposure. They might also be seborrheic keratoses - something I started getting before I was even 20, even though they are usually associated with older folks.

Go see a dermatologist and find out for sure, just to be safe.
