Is an area of your skin covered in light-colored patches? This may be TINEA VERSICOLOR, a discoloration caused by a fungus. Tinea versicolor can be treated with seleneum sulfide or an antifungal cream.
this sounds about right but i'm not sure. what are the symptoms of breast cancer?

Sometimes a rash like this can be fungal. Espescially if it's warm and your're sweating a lot. Not serious at all - just annoying. Try using an anti-fungal cream like Tinactin.

Not to scare you but..... It could be alot of things, but if you have had it for a year, that does not sound good. You need to be seen by a doctor. There is a form of breast cancer that is like a rash, it is very, very bad. Most people who have it don't know what it is so do not get treatment until it is too late.

It could be an allergy of some sort, or it could be some sort of dermatitis. Really, you should see a doctor if you want to have it diagnosed. If it isn't itching or bothering you, I wouldn't be scared. But since it is starting to change - it's a good idea to have a doctor look at it.

Without seeing it no one on here can have a clue what it is. You said you have probably had it more than a year so what did the doc think it was when you had your yearly physical? If the doc didn't mention it then get it checked just to ease your mind.

sounds like a bacterial an infection. you may get them from wearing tampons.... micro organism gets into places you least assume, and pubic hair enables shop it away. does no longer propose you're totally secure, regardless of the undeniable fact that it enables. An untreated bacterial could make you scent down there. If that's good sufficient the place your acquaintances can scent it, you will possibly be able to desire to verify the checklist for some antibiotics. there's no incorrect way for a vaginal an infection to be taken care of, aside from a yeast an infection, and the OTC creams do no longer artwork for each individual. in case you're actually not having cottage cheese like discharge, (white and somewhat thick like paste,) and you're actually not itching or burning, i might rule out a yeast an infection. See the healthcare professional. you do no longer might desire to be embarrassed, they have seen and heard each thing! have faith me! pass get it dealt with, you will sense lots extra effective.... you would be waiting to sit down down next to acquaintances with self belief! good success!

probably an undiagnosed food allergy, to wheat, soy, eggs, dairy, corn, or nuts. Try keeping a food diary to see if it worsens with a day or two of eating certain foods
