Gold pendant leaves stain on my skin? Or is it suspicious?

An_249556 posted:
My last visit to my Dermatologist revealed on my upper chest a slightly asymmetric, 3/8" in diameter, brown "stain" which must be very thin. No itching or bleeding or anything.

The weird part of this is -- for years now this "stain" has been situated RIGHT UNDER A GOLD PENDANT, 1/2" in size, that's been hanging on my necklace for 3 decades now... As if the gold material left a stain on my skin, or at least caused some kind of a reaction there... Is there any medical reference to such a reaction in your "books"?
