The recurring red spot on your chest can be frustrating.

Possible Causes

2. Keratosis Pilaris: A harmless skin condition characterized by small, red bumps.
3. Seborrheic Keratosis: A benign skin growth that can appear as a small, red spot.

Treatment Options

1. Anti-fungal Creams: Continue using anti-fungal creams, such as:
    - Clotrimazole (Candid-B)
    - Miconazole (Micatin)
    - Terbinafine (Lamisil)
2. Combination Therapy: Your dermatologist may recommend a combination of anti-fungal creams and other treatments, such as:
    - Hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation
    - Salicylic acid or urea cream to exfoliate and moisturize the skin
3. Lifestyle Changes: Make some lifestyle changes to help prevent the recurrence of the red spot:
    - Keep the area clean and dry
    - Avoid sharing personal care items
    - Wear loose, breathable clothing
    - Avoid scratching or picking at the spot

Preventing Recurrence

To prevent the red spot from coming back, consider the following:
