Whitish Lesions With Redness Under Skin On Upper Back. Working In Wet Conditions. What Could It Be?
This is a rash that does not itch and not raised. It has white-ish lesions with pinkish red underneath the white-ish bumps or lesions. I work in and manage a health club, am around wet conditions and fungus-y places, and work with my employees in all facets including cleaning and yard work. All of this makes a guy sweat! The bumps/rash is on my upper back and shoulder area. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello,
Due to your work conditions you are at an increased risk of developing fungal infection.
This may be Tinea vericolor. It is a superficial dermatophytic fungal infection.
It may need at least 6 weeks to 6 month of therapy.
You need to consult a Dermatologist.
