Brief Answer:
Possibly due to a fungal infection. Not serious.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking once again on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and have checked the attached images. Possibly you have a fungal infection which is responsible for the red / white patches. Redistribution of the blood flow on pressure is another cause. It is not a cause for concern. Apply Candid (clotrimazole) powder and/or lotion topically and that should provide relief.

Let me know if I could help further.

Brief Answer:
No need to worry but feel free to get an opinion from a dermatologist

Detailed Answer:
I would insist you not to panic. Cancers are characterized by rapidly growing tumors. That is not the case here.

However, if apprehensive, you can visit a dermatologist and get a thorough evaluation done. It will bring peace to your mind.

Could you please specify which ointment you are talking about?
