Hey, I've noticed my mom has these greenish patches on the upper parts of her thighs, and I'm really worried about what they might be. Can you tell me what could be causing this and how we might be able to treat it?

Greenish patches on the skin could be a sign of a fungal infection such as tinea versicolor. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, she can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks to help clear up the infection. It's also important to keep the affected area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

At first, everything seemed fine for about four months, but now I'm losing around 50-60 hairs a day, and it's starting to freak me out.
