Faint White Spots On Cheeks And Chest. Treatment?
Okay I am black and I have faint white spots over my chest back and now they are starting to appear in the cheek area on my face. I am thinking it is be cause of lack of moisture but I now have them on my face I've used this spot faded from Neutrogena and I think that may be the reason for my face have the faint whit spots, but I had to stop because I think it possibly beached it. I've learned now to apply cocoa butter on it which help a little bit but doesn't correct the problem. I Need help please!!!

Hi,
Thanks for writing here.
You are probably having pitryasis versicolor.
It is a fungal infection affecting chest and spreading on face.
Avoid humid climate.Use loose cotton clothes.
You need to apply antifungal cream like miconazole and antifungal shampoos.
It will be better to get confirmation from a dermatologist and start treatment accordingly.
Take care.
