As per your condition, you should visit a nearby consultant to determine the exact cause through a proper examination.

Dark patches on the skin accompanied by pain can certainly be concerning, and they could be indicative of several conditions. Let's start by addressing what might be causing these symptoms. In Ayurveda, skin conditions are often linked to imbalances in the doshas – primarily Pitta and Vata. Pitta imbalance can lead to inflamation and redness, while Vata issues might contribute to dryness and roughness.
However, it's also important to consider that sudden dark patches, especially with pain, require a closer look to rule out any serious underlying conditions. Conditions such as bruising from minor injuries or more severe issues like infections, allergic reactions, or dermatological conditions need to be evaluated, possibly by a healthcare professional.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, start with calming Pitta dosha by incorporating cooling and anti-inflammatory foods into your diet. Favor cucumbers, melons, coconut and cilantro. Also, consider applying a paste of sandalwood powder mixed with rose water on the affected area – this can provide some cooling and soothing effects.
Limit spicy, acidic foods and caffeine, as these can exacerbate the symptoms. Increase your water intake to help flush toxins from the body, it's simple yet effective.
For immediate relief, a cold compress could help reduce the pain and swelling. Use a soft cloth – dampen it with cold water and place it over the patches for short intervals, repeat this several times during the day.
If these symptoms persist or if you notice them spreading, it would be wise to seek medical attention promptly. There could be an underlying cause that requires conventional medical treatment. Ayurveda complements, but should not replace professional medical advice particularly when conditions seem acute or intensifying. Always best erring on the side of caution!
