My concern was some type of blood vessel breakage or a spider bite of some sort. Due to how long its been there. I also have XXXXXXX versa color so was wondering if that could have been the cause. Please advise thanks
Brief Answer:
Associated with tinea versicolor
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Spider bite wont be stable without any symptoms and spontaneous blood vessel breakage will not remain limited to one part of body.
Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection hence this patch can be associated with it.
Please dont worry, apply clotrimazole. you will get results in 15 days.
