Suggest Remedies For Dark Spots On The Skin

Posted on Mon, 24 Oct 2016

Question: Hi,
I have developed some marks on my skin, which i think are fungal infection.

If i rub the marks, dead skink comes out and then the marks becomes light. After few days the marks become again darker by few shades and again dead skink starts to peel off.

Please see attached images. These are after peeling dead skin.

Could you please suggest what it is and give some medicine.

Thanks,

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It's looking like fungal infection.
I treat such cases with a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole to be applied twice daily for two weeks.
It is safe and effective and usually available over the counter.
You can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
