Hello, I have brown, dry, rough, flaky skin in my armpits, on the back of my neck and on my chest. Ive been to several doctors and each gave my some sort of cream, but it has never completely gone away. Its gotten worst lately, is there anything to sooth it until i can go to the doctor again?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor The causes could be1. Acanthosis --When we develop insulin resistance there will be parish discoloration of the skin occurs especially neck. Usually this is seen in obese individuals. Othwrwise also when the insulin resistance occurs you can have this...2. Thickening of the skin also can cause this problem. You can apply moisturizing cream 3. Fungal infection is another cause. But you will have itching around the area. Please do a blood sugar check up including HbA1C,Thyroid profile, Complete blood count with ESR.....please consult your doctor with these results....
