Discolored Spots
I tend to get these spots around my chest area a lot. Once when I visited a dermatologist regarding them, he prescribed me an iycotic lotion. These spots do go away after a few days of applying the iycotic cream but after a few weeks these spots come back again.
What do you think should be my course of action? What are these spots and how can I prevent them?
Also, is there a home alternative to iycotic cream?
Thank you!
