Avatar n tn Hi This may be a tinea versicolor which is a fungal infection.This type of fungal infection may present as white patches on the skin and there may be very fine scales present on affected areas.They are not very itchy and the borders are not as well demarcated compared to vitiligo which may also present with white patches. Applying topical antifungals may help. Keep the area dry and clean. Do not scrub or allow wet clothes to dry on the body.
768221 tn?1242995694 As a result, white patches appear on the skin in different parts of the body. Diagnosis can be confirmed by external examination, blood tests to check skin cell count for melanocytes and biopsy of the skin patches. I think you should consult a dermatologist and discuss these possibilities with him. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional doubts.
Avatar f tn I have tiny white round spots all over my legs and arms. I also have a dark tan on these areas. Are these spots due to the tan/sun some how?
Avatar n tn recently getting over, but skin has not healed while some parts look white and some are still red?? And would sunbathing help to dry out or just make scarring worse?
Avatar m tn They are about nickle sized and are bleach white. one on my head, chest, and two on my back right shoulder. The sorrounding skin will tan but these spots only get red and fade back to white. The hair grows white out of those spots as well so yes...i had a white patch of hair at age 18.
Avatar n tn Hello, I cannot confirm anything without examination,but it sounds like pityriasis versicolor.The white patches of pityraisis don’t tan on sun exposure. It is a common skin infection caused by the yeast Malassezia furfur. This skin disease commonly affects adolescents and young adults, especially in warm and humid climates. Treatment involves topical and oral antifungal medicines.Selsun shampoo(not selsun blue) will be a better idea to start with.
1341187 tn?1276117965 hi everytime i have a spray tan i'm left with a few white circles a few hours later where the tan has'nt developed into my skin properly can anyone suggest why this is happening
Avatar f tn A while back I noticed that after I would get a tan in the sun, my tan would peel and then I would get these white blotches. They were extremely embarrassing, but would fade and go away overtime. The last couple of summers I noticed that my tan was perfectly fine and even. Then randomly around last February or so I noticed the blotched come back. I had been using a tanning bed once a month since august because it helps my rashes stay away.
Avatar n tn Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin are destroyed. As a result, white patches appear on the skin in different parts of the body. Diagnosis can be confirmed by external examination, blood tests to check skin cell count for melanocytes and biopsy of the skin patches. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar f tn black couple they end up being like a light caramel skin tone or even a little more towards the white side,so i think your right about yours,but you never know,sometimes its different .
Avatar n tn Hi White spots on the skin may have tinea versicolor, pityriasis alba and vitiligo as differentials. Pityriasis alba usually occurs in children. The condition presents as white patches on the cheeks .This does not require any intervention and may resolve spontaneously. This may not be your case. Tinea versicolor may be likely as this is a common condition .This is caused by a fungal infection. Tinea versicolor "changes the skin color.
Avatar f tn s dad is dark tan skin, she is tan skin both with dark hair and brown eyes and their baby came out with very pale white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. My aunt is darker tanned skin with dark hair and her husband was very white with blonde hair and their son came out white skin with red hair, but at age 6ish his hair turned dark. It all depends on the genetics, sometimes it could be frustrating because you wanna know exactly what your baby will look like, but it's all a waiting game.
Avatar f tn I'm sure it wouldn't hurt, but I personally wouldn't risk it. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I cancelled my spray tan membership and my doctor told me it was the right decision. There are chemicals in any types of lotions and skin creames but being as the sunless tanner dyes your skin...
Avatar n tn ok, so i've been seeing a dermatologist for about a year. i have white colored skin patches on my left arm and shoulder and back around the shoulder. They are very white looking whenever i work out and the normal skin gets red or i get in the sun and the normal skin gets red then too. it is not raised, scaly, or anything like that, just white. My dermatologist has treated it as tinea versicolor with first the cream then the pills which did nothing.
Avatar f tn Thanx my husband gets tinea vesicolor on his chest but he gets white spots. My daughter has tan spots circles & started to blend in all in one color & some blotchy . She looks like she has a light tan on her right hand and lower arm.
Avatar n tn I have been to the doctors and he told me I have a skin fungus and to us Selson Shampoo, I have used the shampoo for a month every day, now I use it once a week for about 5-10 mins drying on my skin. The white spots don't seem to be going at all, now I have a bit of a tan they seem to be worse than ever. Do they ever go or even fade a little, I don't want to waste the doctors time again or do I need to get something else a little stronger. Please help.
Avatar n tn Every summer after I get a slight tan I get these white little bumps lighter than my current skin color as well as a little rough. It doesn't itch at all. Not sure what I should use or if it is a fungus from the sun, I use sunscreen and can't seem to figure it out. Usually it is just around my stomach and mid back. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn Anybody tan while pregnant? This is my third baby i didnt tan with the last 2 but felt pasty white and unattractive the whole time. Ive heard tanning doesnt harm the baby so im thinking bout it?
Avatar f tn Fake tan is fine..
Avatar m tn I'm a 17 year old boy and I have a faire skin complexion. When I go to the sun, freckles appear on my skin! I'v been looking everywhere on internet to find a way to get ride of my freckles: olive oil, parsley juice, lemon, cucumbers, sure milk, beta carotene, skin moisterizer etc... When I use those natural product on my skin, the freckcles fade faster then they would normaly do but, it is so long and frustrating to do all this ''process'' every day .
Avatar f tn I also have areas of depigmentation (small white spots) all over my arms and legs. Again, what is it and can I get rid of it and prevent more? I'd appreciate any information about causes and potential treatment options. Thank you.
Avatar n tn Leucoderma, also known as vitiligo, is a rare skin disease characterized by white spots and patches. The white patch or spot is called as leucoderma and when it occurs without any preceding disease it is called Vitiligo. Some of the perceived causes are emotional stress, hereditary factors, worms, sunburns and physical illness. This skin condition can be aggravated due to diseases like hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, pernicious anemia and Addison's disease.

Avatar f tn m Native American, pitch black hair, dark as can have brown eyes, and tan skin. My bf is white, pale skin, light brown hair and light colored eyes. All I do is wonder who our baby girl will look more of. Very excited.
Avatar n tn So I'm due May 3 with a boy. This is my first pregnancy so I'm not sure how baby getting certain genes works. For skin tone, the father is more tan while I'm pretty pastey. Which gene is more likely to be dominant? It's doesn't matter to me I'm just curious and confused!
