See you doc : You may have bacterial or other skin infection you better see your family doctor for proper treatment.

Question 2

do you think using aloe vera & vitamin e cream would be a help? for white spots on my chest and neck?

Won't hurt: but you can have this followed as this can be any number of issues such as vitiligo (if you have family hx, autoimmune problems), tinea versicolor (fungal infection), idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (usually seen on sun exposed areas) or pityriasis alba (white in summer and becomes dry and reddish/scaly in winter - seen in teenagers) or Nevis depigmentosus (hair in discolored area is white)

Question 3

strep test was negative but lung x-ray showed bronchitis. is that what's causing my throat to be sore with white spots? dr prescribed augmentin

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If the spots were there before the augmentin, then very likely. If they appeared after starting the antibiotic, it may be oral thrush. If you are prone to vaginal yeast infections after taking antibiotics, then thrush is even more likely. If your throat does not get better by the time you finish the augmentin, I would recommend you go back to see your Dr.

Question 10

got a bad sunburn months ago, it started to peel & i peeled it before it was ready. now i have tiny, white spots covering my chest that won't go away.

Accepted Answer

Sun damage: Those "white spots" are likely areas of low pigmentation brought about by damage to the melanocytes (cells that make pigment) from the sunburn. It may take a year for them to kick back in and for your skin to look normal color again. In the meantime, make sure you use sunscreen daily and pamper your skin in next few months with moisturizers and avoidance of irritants.
