hi guys,

i wasnt sure where to post this so im really sorry if its in the wrong place !! -///-

Ive been really curious about these light pink patches on my arm where my hair always grows white / translucent while the rest of my hair is dark brown on my arms ?

the patches have like these darker pink spot /freckles, it looks like it could be where the hair folical comes from ?

ive had these "patches" for years and they dont bother me, i just wonder what they are lol !

I cant remember if they stay light in the summer as i dont really tan !

Im going away for christmas so im hoping ill tan up and ill be able to clarify if they do stay light !

thanks in advance ! - Kate!
