Can Brown Spots On Arms & Vaginal Area Suggest Fungal Infection?
Hi Doctor,
I'm 35 years old and an asian. I used to have brown spots on my arms since I was 20 yrs old. But, recently I found they spread all over my tummy and near vaginal area. I also found they are on the bottom of my feet. I thought it might be hormone change since I had a baby 8 month ago. But it seems getting darker and spreading more. i'm getting scared.
Could it be fugal infection? I can provide pictures. please help me!!

Hi i did review your concern.
The brown spots do not seem to be due to vaginal infection.
I would recommend you to consult a dermatologist or upload pictures for me so that i can have a look and comment better on it.
Such brown lesions can be due to hormonal issue like cushings disease, increased estrogen causing chloasma, polyscystic ovarian disease or it can be due to local melanocytic proliferation or acanthosis nigricans.
Kindly upload the picture for me to better evaluate your condition.
i hope this helps.
Wish you all the best.
