Tinea Versicolor Treatment | Blotches On Skin: Causes And Home Remedies

I have blotches under my skin in my blood after the shower, can you tell me home remedies to remove them?

Causes Of  Skin Blotches

The occurrence of red blotches under a person’s skin is more common than you can imagine. Initially, it can be quite an intimidating condition leading you to presume the worst scenarios. Since you mention that the condition is more evident after taking a hot shower, it is more likely to be an instance of Tinea Versicolor. This common skin condition is widely believed to be caused by the yeast Malassezia furfur although more recent research into the condition shows that it is more commonly caused by Malassezia Globosa. The condition is characterized by irregular or oval shaped spots about ¼ to 1 inch in diameter that will occasionally merge together to form a bigger looking patch. Exposure of the affected area to heat such as when sunbathing or just after a substantial amount of exercise will accentuate the prominence of the condition.  Some individuals may even experience a tingling or itching sensation around the affected area just prior to sweat being emitted from the body. The itching is likely to stop once the sweating begins. The most common areas for the condition to take effect include the shoulders, back and chest or even folds of the skin such as the underside of the breasts or groin. The condition is non contagious and can be effectively controlled or considerably prevented simply by following a hygiene regime.

Treatment For Tinea Versiclor

There are a number of commercially available products that virtually guarantee to resolve the condition for you almost instantly. However, one must be aware that just because they have worked on another individual, does not make them a sure fire shot to work on your skin. Some of the more trusted and successful treatment options include the application of 2.5 percent selenium shampoo topically over the affected areas as soon as you are done with your shower. Allow the lotion to penetrate the upper layers of your skin before washing it off after 10 minutes. Follow this routine regularly for a period of seven days after which you can bring down the dosage, but continue the treatment for a month. The kind of food and beverages you consume play an important role in controlling and treating the condition. Increase your daily intake of raw fruits, vegetables and whole grains in your diet. This will significantly help strengthen your immune system as a result of the increased level of antioxidants. Avoid consuming too much sugar or white flour, while chewing on a clove of garlic everyday will prove beneficial because of its antifungal properties.
