Question 1

Ive noticed a white patch first on my chin and then near my sideburns, and theres no hair growing in that area now. It looks like a fungal infection. I also had some white patches last year near my neck area. Could you suggest a cream or shampoo that could help with this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection causing white patches and hair loss. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected areas. In addition, you can use a ketoconazole shampoo like Nizoral twice a week to help treat the fungal infection on the scalp. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for both products.

Question 2

My husband has a patch on his scalp and has been using Salisia DS ointment prescribed by a dermatologist. However, the area where hes applying the cream has now turned red. Could you help us understand what might be causing this?

Don't worry, I'm here to help you figure out what might be going on.The symptoms you're describing - a red pimple under your left breast that's turned dark, with other small red pimples nearby - are unlikely to be breast cancer. Breast cancer typically presents as a lump or thickening in the breast tissue, not as pimples or skin lesions [1).That being said, it's always a good idea to get any new or changing skin symptoms checked out by a doctor. They can take a closer look and provide a proper diagnosis.As for the possible causes, sweat and friction from exercising and wearing a tight bra could definitely contribute to skin irritation and pimples in that area. This is especially likely if you're not wearing a sports bra that fits well and allows for good airflow
