A member asked:
I have dry brown spots under my armpits and theyre spreading up my arm and down my sides. so i have cancer? is it an infection? what do i do?

Fungus?: It could be superficial fungus infection because of color and it's spread. This is easily treble once diagnosis is confirmed with external antifungals. See doctor for proper diagnosis. The description is not suggestive of skin cancer.
