What Causes Pink Dry Patches On Torso?
My son has some pinkish dry like patches on the torso of his body (in armpits as well) They don t itch but seem to be spreading. Do you think the ointment Centany will help? I already have Centany and was going to apply it to see if it would help.

Hi,
These patches should be evaluated by a dermatologist as it suggest any systemic disease to be causing at such different spots all over the body. Likely diagnosis of psoriasis should be on top and may need topical Momitasone application. However any other dermatitis or allergic reaction should be ruled out.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
