I've been dealing with p versicolor on my chest and back for several years, and recently it's spread to my forearms and a bit on my face. I'm using Keraglo AD lotion daily, Saborbar soap, and taking Fluzon 150 mg tablets once a week. It's been two weeks, but I haven't noticed much improvement. Should I keep going with this treatment, or should I see if my doctor can suggest something else?

View allI've been struggling with some pretty bad acne and scars in the area between my breasts since I was 14, and now I'm 17. It's super embarrassing, and no matter what the temperature is, I tend to sweat a lot there. I'm at a loss about what to do. Could you offer some advice?
Possible Causes* 1. *Sweat and bacteria*: Excessive sweating in the intermammary fold (the area between your breasts) can create a warm, moist environment where bacteria thrive, leading to acne. 2. *Friction and irritation*: Tight clothing, bras, or excessive movement can cause friction, leading to irritation and acne. 3. *Hormonal fluctuations*: As a 17-year-old, hormonal changes during puberty might contribute to acne. *Self-Care Tips* 1. *Keep the area clean*: Gently wash the area with a mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. *Use a gentle exfoliant*: Exfoliate the area 1-2 times a week with a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). 3. *Wear loose, breathable clothing*: Choose cotton or linen clothing that allows for airflow and reduces friction. 4. *Use a medicated powder or spray*: Apply a powder or spray containing ingredients like salicylic acid, tea tree oil, or aluminum chloride to help control sweat and bacteria. *Professional Help* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment. 2. *Consider topical or oral treatments*: Your dermatologist may prescribe topical creams, gels, or oral antibiotics to help manage acne and prevent scarring. *Remember* 1. *You're not alone*: Many people experience acne and skin issues in this area. 2. *Seek support*: Talk to a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional if you're feeling embarrassed or self-conscious.
