Rough dry patches on stomach n waist
Hi Doctor,
From last month I have observed dry patches on my waist and stomach. I was presuming that it's temporary but now I feel something might be wrong with my skin. Its almost at all places where there are folds when I bend/try crunches. So my second guess maybe it's just beginning of some kind of strechmarks?!
I am attaching pictures of these marks. Do advice me if this looks serious or I can apply some ointment to get it to normal stage.

Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
