View allI've noticed this yellow patch on my right breast really close to my nipple. It's not causing any pain, and there aren't any lumps or discharge, just this yellow spot. It's been two days, and it's still there, which has me feeling anxious. I'm just wondering, could this be something serious like cancer or maybe just a bruise?
That could be normal bruise, no need to worry,to be on safeside, visit surgeon for evaluation.

I've been dealing with acne on my chest and back for a bit now and was wondering if it's okay to use Candid B dusting powder for it. Do you think that would help, or is there something else I should try?
Candid B dusting powder contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone. It is primarily used for fungal skin infections and not specifically for acne. For acne on the chest and back, it is recommended to use topical treatments containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. You can try using Benzac AC gel or Salicylic Acid cleanser for your acne. Apply a thin layer of Benzac AC gel once daily or use the Salicylic Acid cleanser to wash the affected areas twice a day.
