Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello,I was just wondering, I have this fungus type thing covering pretty much my collar bone near my neck. It looks similar to ring worm but I have tried a cream for that and there was no improvement. There is also a small spot of it on my right wrist and in my belly button. Is there any simple explanation for this or a over the counter treatment I can buy? Thanks in advance!!

Hello, Welcome to HCM,
As you are having the symptoms of fungal infection in the neck region, which should be examined by the specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
For your condition I would suggest you to follow 1. Keep the area clean and dry 2. Apply antifungal cream like Cream Miconazole, which is available OTC. 3. Oral antihistamines, to prevent itching which is also available OTC. Thank you.
