Suggest Treatment For Dry And Flaky Patches On Skin
I got home from work and proceded to take my shower and noticed that there was a patch of dry skin that looked like a ring worm on my breast. I looked on my stomach and one was there also. Soon it started appearing all over such as my neck, thighs legs and arms. They itch a little but arent painful. I have no other symptoms and again they werent there this morning. After a shower they became dry and flaky
Hello, Thank you for posting on HCM The condition you have described is called Pityriasis versicolor, a superficial skin infection caused by a fungus. I would recommend you take short course of oral antifungal drug like fluconazole as advised by your dermatologist. Apply ketoconazole cream twice a day over the white patches regularly. Use shampoo containing ketoconazole and selenium sulfite for rinsing daily. Maintain hygiene. Hope you will get fine soon Thank you Dr Hardik Pitroda
