How to remove tinea versicolor spots naturally?

Patient's Query

I discovered i have tinea versicolor fungal infection on my body since july2025 although now there is no itching but still spots are left on my bavk and chest area how to remove those?

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Tinea versicolor is caused by a type of yeast that's normally found on our skin, but sometimes it grows out of control, leading to those spots you're seeing. It's usually harmless and not contagious. To help clear those spots, you can try over-the-counter antifungal creams or shampoos. Make sure to keep your skin dry and wear breathable clothing. If it's not improving, it's best to check in with a dermatologist for some prescription-strength treatment.

I am having problem with my piercing the hole on the top of the skin is closed but the earing is stuck from behind what to do

Female | 20

Your piercing might cause some trouble. Sometimes, the hole on top of your skin may close up while the earring remains stuck from behind. This can happen when the skin wraps around the back of the earring. You might experience pain, redness, or swelling. To solve this, you can gently try pushing the earring out from the back or seek help from a professional piercer. Never force it out, as that can cause more harm.

Mery face pe freckless he bht zyada mghy iska koi elaj bta dy pls

Female | 28

Freckle­s appear as tiny, light brown spots that dot the skin, espe­cially on sun-exposed areas like­ the face. They're­ harmless markings. But for some, freckle­s become an aesthe­tic concern. To fade freckle­s, wear sunscreen and a hat whe­n outdoors. Opt for skin care products enriched with vitamin C or re­tinol. If self-conscious about freckles, conce­al them with makeup. Reme­mber, freckles are­ natural and require no medical inte­rvention.

Female | 20

This type of pain, darling, can occasionally be a result of hormonal variations, like during your menstrual cycle. It could also be wearing too tight clothes or even a sign of muscle strain. In order to treat the pain, you can wear loose clothes, use warm compresses and gentle massage.

Can you wear acrylics nails for a tonsillectomy

Female | 15

Acrylic nails aren't recomme­nded before tonsille­ctomy surgery. Those fake nails could harbor ge­rms, making hand hygiene tricky. During tonsillectomy, doctors re­move tonsils, often due to infe­ctions or breathing issues. Clean hands pre­vent surgical site infections, so natural nails are only for this proce­dure. Wait until you've recove­red fully before ge­tting acrylics again.

This is usually when you have dark or light patches on your skin. Some common factors are sunburn, hormonal changes, and genetics.

my face is dark and acne on it

Male | 17

Dark skin patches and acne can occur due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or clogged pores. To improve your skin, use gentle cleansers, keep your skin moisturized, and avoid harsh products. Drink plenty of water, eat healthy food, and resist picking at acne to prevent scarring. Also, protect your skin from the sun to reduce further darkening.

Good afternoon. I am Subhankar Sir/mam The skin on my testicles is peeling off. There is some white coloured powder or it smells. Sometimes it itches too.

Male | 20

You likely have a fungus on your testicle. The symptoms you have mentioned like the peeling of skin, white substance, and smell, along with itching, appear to be a normal fungal infection. They may be caused by the lack of hygiene or tight clothes. This can be solved by keeping a dry and clean environment, wearing loose clothes, and using a pharmacist-recommended antifungal cream.

Pate and peeth par jhurri type ho gya hai garmi me aisa hota

Male | 26

You may have gotten a heat rash on your forehead and back in the heat. This happens when moisture ducts get clogged and sweat gets trapped under your skin, in effect, red bumps are formed. Avoid hot and humid places, stay cool, dress in loose clothes, and use a cold compress. Keep your skin dry and clean.
