Trishajb

I discovered dark yellowish spots under my breast area and under my arm pits. It doesn't look like pictures I've seen of the skin conditon related to insulin resistance. My doctor said that I wasn't insulin resistant. I was doing research and it appears to be Tenia versicolor. Anyone have this? How long does it take to go away? I really don't want to go to the doctor.

Corvidae

It's a mild yeast infection similar to ringworm. I haven't had it but I did catch ringworm from some infected sheep a couple of years ago and the treatment is the same.

Ask for an over-the-counter antifungal treatment from your pharmacy and use it as directed. The infection should clear up in a couple of weeks. The dark patches on your skin should start to fade a few weeks after the infection is treated.

If you go to the doctor they can give you a stronger cream or oral medication which would clear it up faster, but that would be more expensive so I'd try the pharmacy first.
