Dry Patches Of Dark Skin Under Armpits, Abdomen, Breasts. Using Cream, Not Working. Treatment?
I have dry patches of dark skin under my armpits...around my abdomen area and its starting to go onto my breasts I m so concious about it and I m guessing my GP will probably just prescribe me cream which I m already using but it doesn t work...I m 15 years old and have had it for nearly 2 years I m so embarrassed and I m always having to wear jumpers/cardigans to hide it

Hello
Thanks for the query posted . I would be pleased to answer your query .
Your condition could be very much secondary to a fungus or even can be related to hormonal changes. You should be visiting a specialist like a Dermatologist or Endocrinologist .
It can be something that we call acanthosis Nigricans and is commonly seen secondary to obesity or hormonal issues.
Please do book an appointment with the doctor as stated.
