General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

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.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
