Hypomelanosis of skin and peri?

It is a hereditary condition. It's a gene carried along in families. It is the loss of melanin, and people who have a lot of it have a predisposition for graying early in life. I started having gray hair when I turned 14, thus having this condition which runs in my family and other families I know, is something normal. White spots on my arms, legs, stomach and scalp are the most common places to appear. When I went into perimenopause they (my white spots) started to itch. I called my doctor he told me to buy hydrocortisone cream which I now use for all my skin conditions.

I have Pityriasis  verticolor and small white circular patches show up when you have a tan. The skin doesn’t colour up unless you treat it with an antifungal body wash from GP. 

If it’s that it’s nothing to worry about. I’ve had it on and off for years. Body creams can cause it sometimes too. 

Yes, I've been noticing these too. I asked my dermatologist and she said it was nothing to be concerned about. I'm in Florida, and last year I was sitting out every day trying to get a good dose of Vitamin D, so really tan, and that's when I started noticing the white spots. Otherwise I don't see them.

I have the opposite color brown spots on my legs (shins) and some on my arms from elbow to shoulder, and a few on my face, the ones on my legs sometimes itch too, they're not to dark but there, make up covers them well, but since feeling so bad with all my yucky symptoms I don't bother with make up much right now! So wonder if that's the same, age spots sun spots candida low estrogen, who knows....

If it’s like a pigmentation white spots .. yes I have those  too. I know brown spots are not due to sun but toxins in the body .we need the sun and it’s very good for us!  

Dear Evi

Yes I get this too, whrn I tan I get white speckles on my arm and I presumed it is loss of melanin
