Topics:dark patch on back

My husband developed a dark patch on back about a year ago. It looks like either dirt or a bruise but it is not. The patch looks like it has gotten bigger. It is not raised above the skin. Could you tell me what it could be?

I would recommend seeing a dermatologist.  It could be something simple to treat and unthreatening, but you should rule out other more serious skin conditions as well.
