  Those that appear due to long period under the sun.. People who excercise should know what is it..

  Gee! It sounds like fungal. Prolonged use of anti-fungal cream helps but it works only if you use it for months... Enjoy!

  fungal infections take a long time to recover. can even expect years.
  make sure when your body is hot, you don't splash or pour water on yourself.
  don't take a shower immediately after you exercise, wait a while until your body cools down and your sweat evaporates.
  
  mine just went away after 2-3 years.

  cause i used to be a runner, always training at 1530 which is damn hot. and during and after interval trainings i will splash water on myself.
  
  what i found out that it is actually fungal infection. and i guess warmth and moist makes it excellent for it to thrive. just like foot rot.
  
  but that was what i briefly found. might not be reliable.

  My bro has that too...
  
  It's called 'peh tio' in dialect.
  
  It comes about if you shower when your body is warm, outdoors alot, sweat alot, etc.
  
  You can try a medicated ointment called 'shu feng chun'. Cheaply available at chinese medical shops.
  
  Apply everyday after shower.
  
  Worked for my bro.
