White patches on areola

2021-10-31 14:58:01
Hello. I'm 27 weeks pregnant. From starting of my second trimester, I noticed whitish patches under both my breast covering some part of the areola. There is no itching. I'm really worried tat it could it be vitiligo? I don't have any other white patches anywhere else. Only under both breast covering some portion of areola for past 3 months.

It's Fungus or yeast infection....common around skin folds like thighs and genitals.. avoid sweating, sharing clothes,towels and soap.. specific medicine required depends on the severity.. for detailed prescription do direct online consultation by sending photos.
