Is a dark spot on my dog's stomach a yeast infection or a freckle?

Question

Was wondering if this were a type of yeast or urine caused infection? It seems like it just appeared on my pups stomach. I do notice sometimes after urinating theres still moisture on his little hairs could it be thats causing a fungal infection or is this a reg ol stomach freckle??

Unfortunately, it's impossible to be sure from a picture, but the area looks like normal pigmentation on the skin. Young dogs often develop darker areas on their bellies as they get older, so the area may continue to enlarge. If the area is irritated, red, bumpy, crusted, or appears different from the surrounding skin in any way other than color, I would have your veterinarian examine it, but I suspect that it is just a big ol' stomach freckle! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
