I noticed the patch in like XXXXXXX or July of 2019. I grew my hair to cover it, but now since getting a new haircut have seen that the patches have gotten larger and now there is 2 of them. There is no pain, burning, or itching. I don%E2%80%99t have any ailments currently, but I have had exema before. I haven%E2%80%99t had any recent history of trauma.
have had exema before. No recent trauma.
Brief Answer:
Fungal infection or vascular lesion
Detailed Answer:
According to your complaints it could be either a fungal infection or some vascular patch like port wine stain.
I would recommend you to apply topical antifungal cream like miconazole cream on the affected area twice daily for 2 -3 weeks.
This should improve it.
If it doesn’t improve in 2-3 weeks consult a doctor and get it evaluated.
