I have white & brown spots on my back. What could it be?

Question

It started about 5 years ago , i went to the dermatologist he said it was the yeast over producing ,mixing with sweat and bleaching my skin so now i have no pigment in those areas, and now 5 years later brown spots are on top of the white spots and its only on my back between my shoulder blades, i have an appointment with my doc next month, but does anyone know of what it could be?

Answer 1

Find a new dermatologist.

Answer 2

If they are changing colors through out the seasons it might be skin cancer. I would go to the doctors to have it checked out if you are worrying. Always safe then sorry!

Answer 3

I think it is the fungus called ptyriasis versicolor. It is generally harmless except for the cosmetic effect. It can spread and even cause itching when you perspire. There are effective drugs.

My diagnosis may not be correct and you can know what it is exactly, when you meet the doctor.

I am a medical doctor
