Every damn summer I end up getting these frickers. LINK
I sweat like a whore in church during the summer. When I was younger it was from playing sports and leaving sweaty clothes on throughout the day. Now I'm in and out of the heat all day for work and my undershirt will stay damp from sweat causing these bastards. How do I prevent this?

I first got it bad around 11-12 yrs old (36 now). There is some prescription antifungal cream or oral pills that work great if it is bad. Since I live in north Texas now, it isn't as humid so I rarely see any spots. If I see any, I treat it with regular otc antifungal cream. Everyone has that fungus on their skin, but it only expresses on some people for reasons unknown.

I get it about once a year. I take the pills and it goes away. I've been to a few dermatologists and they've all said pretty much the same thing. It has gotten lighter over the years.

Use Selsun Blue with selenium. Put it on where you have the spots and let it dry. Then take a shower. Do this for a week or two and it should go away. Also Under Armour or similar shirts that breathe help too.

Nope. Despite my pasty and ultra-white complexion, I have enough drops of Cherokee to get bronze and prevent all the hassles of white people sun-problems. Except moles. So many moles.

Those aren't sunspots.
It's a fungus from living in a humid climate.

Yes, wash area with Head and Shoulders shampoo (medicated).

Oral anti-fungal pill plus ZNP soap (ask pharmacist) for two weeks. Dont use any other soap during this time.
This will keep it away for at least two years.

I used to get them on my face. Doctor said wear sunscreen, I have never gotten them again.

What the hell is that?? If my skin started looking like that, I'd wear sunscreen.

I get it every summer. Have the shampoo and when it gets bad the derma will give me a scrip for the pill version of the shampoo.
Mom is in her late 50's and still gets it. Just a fungus but sucks.

I think you linked some areola in that Wikipedia link.

That's what Michael Jackson had.

I used to get it in high school bad on my stomach. I think being out in the sun made it worse. It's gone now though and that was only about 10 years ago
