Hello Doctor,
What sort of a skin infection could a person be suffering from if the symptoms are itching, redness, white skin etc. and the areas where the skin infection is present is underarms, groin, chest region and belly button?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
The symptoms described, including itching, redness, and white patches on the skin, particularly in the underarms, groin, chest region, and belly button, could potentially indicate a fungal infection such as Tinea Versicolor or Candidiasis. These conditions are common in warm, humid climates and can be exacerbated by sweating. However, these symptoms could also be indicative of other conditions like Eczema or Psoriasis. It’s important to conduct a thorough examination and potentially a skin scraping for microscopic analysis to confirm the diagnosis.
Thanks
