What Causes White Spots On The Skin Around Chest And Abdomen?
hi, every summer i get these white spots on my skin, mostly around the chest and stomach, i have already been to the doctor and she says that its a fungus infection, but that was 5 months ago, i was applying prescriptive medicine on it then i had went into juvenile detention and they wouldnt let me bring the medicine in, i lost the medicine when i got out. Is there any other way to get rid of them please help
As per my clinical experience, the white spots can be part of sun exposure induced perspiration related recurrent fungus infection. Apart from prescription medicine, I would suggest: - Antiseptic cleansing of chest and abdomen - Wear loose, clean, cotton clothes - Avoid direct or excess sun exposure over a period of time - Drink plenty of liquids - Control blood sugar - Avoid smoking if consuming
Be in regular follow up with your doc for progress of the condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
