In summer, I get itchy white patches on my shoulders, but they do not appear in winter. What could be the reason, and how can I treat it?

Asked by Female, 26 ยท 11 days ago

White, itchy patches that appear in summer but not in winter are often due to a fungal infection that thrives in heat and sweat. Moisture on the skin allows the fungus to spread, which is why it improves in cooler months. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton clothes, and avoid excess sweating as much as possible. A doctor may advise an antifungal treatment to clear it, so consult your doctor for proper care if it keeps coming back.
