Could Small, White Patches On Neck Be A Symptom Of Fungal Infection?
sir i have got small small white patches on my neck. i was taking a sea cod, multivitamin and osteocalcium for a month but left it 10 days ago. my friend is a dermatalogist. so i sent a photograph to her. she said it looks like fungal infection so she has adviced me to take a medicine and apply an ointment.
Hi, Thanks for writing to us. Going by your description, I would agree with my fellow dermatologist! It seems, you are having a superficial fungal infection known as pityriasis versicolor.In such cases we usually prescribe oral medicines like fluconazole or ketoconazole or itraconazole along with a topical antifungal cream( clotrimazole/ketoconazole etc). Please follow your friend's advise. Take care
