Skin discoloration....?

I have this skin discoloration, only on certain areas of my body. It appears more noticeably when it gets warmer and more humid outside. It is on my arms, right where the skin meets when you bend your elbows, at my bra line in the front (under and between my breasts), areas on my back where a bra or cami would be, and in the crease of my leg/thigh in front where the panty line is. I went to the dermatologist the first 3 summers this happened, they gave me a 5-day pill and/or cream and it went away very quickly, but never really told me what it was. I believe they said since I have such sensitive skin, fugus in the air gets on my skin and causes this, which makes sense for where this discoloration all is. It's not as disgusting as it sounds, mainly embarassing. I have tried make up and it doesn't work, and it's hard to find clothes to cover it all since it's so hot outside. I have an appt. next month, the soonest they could get me in, but any tips on how to "cover" it up until then?

Reply:Try getting some loreal mineral makeup or Physicians formula sells a product just for covering imperfections such as this. Good luck and God bless.
Reply:I would avoid covering the areas with anything. It does sound like a fungus type thing caused by moisture and covering it will only prevent the area from "breathing". You might try a bit of rubbing alcohol followed by a light dusting of cornstarch to keep the areas as dry as possible. Try to find lingerie that has a cotton lining rather than any elastic areas that the skin will be exposed to as the rubber in elastic will also cause moisture to be held in. Tea tree oil is a good antifungal and might work by adding just a drop to the rubbing alcohol before applying. Do NOT apply the tea tree oil undiluted as that may irritate your skin.
