I started to notice my skin on my arms in close to circular shapes were appearing and not going away. They were flesh color but lighter. Also they were raised higher then the skin in other places. Then I noticed this same thing appear on my stomach region in multiples. The recent one to appear is on my forehead. Can someone look at this and tell me what is my skin doing? I do not not have a history of this in any way, shape or form.! image

    I can't really see anything on the image.

    Are these lumps under the skin?

    How long have you had them?

    My initial thoughts were lipomas.

    It could be a mild fungal infection of the skin called tinea versicolor. You could try washing the patches every day in a dandruff shampoo with Selenium sulphide as the active ingredient.

    Discoid eczema can also cause circular patches but these are usually itchy and dont appear on the face.
