Why did another white patch on the bottom of my arm appear?

[Anonymous]

I just noticed today and I am quite confused. It’s not itchy or scaly- it’s just normal skin that’s lighter.

I’ve also just noticed slightly lighter patches of skin but very small and almost unnoticeable. I’m confused

Eczema?

Common with allergies or asthma?

Do you use harsh skin products.

Some things have aluminium in, which caused itching for me, which is obviously different symptoms but the point being that fragrance and cleaning products can easily cause skin problems.

I guess i would suggest you try a gentle cleanser, like a ph balanced sensitive skin whatever, that sort of thing

You might want to consider trying, or anyone reading who is concerned about chemicals in their personal products mineral salt deoderant.

You should avoid using cleansers on your gentials as well, particularly women, this can cause smells due to screwing up baterial harmony.

Look at your clothes washing cleansers as well, if it is being caused by an irritant in cleaning products this is another source to consider.

I would recommend looking into this sort of thing whether or not you are having a problem, the aluminum which was in my deoderant in particular, i believe that can cause some fairly serious problems.

It looks like vitiligo. I know a few people who have it.

See a good dermatologist to confirm, but it's an autoimmune condition if it is. That means it's unlikely you'll find someone with a permanent cure.

Some specialists recommend high vitamin D, plenty of strong sun exposure and rest. Just watch the exposure of the affected area - loss of pigmentation means less natural melanin in the skin to protect from UV rays.

I think it might be because there are more small lighter patches all around my hands and other arm -that I just noticed

Could be vitiligo. I'm not a doctor. Could be Tinea versicolor. I'm not a doctor. See a dermatologist.

Its because your turning white :) congratulations :)
Jokes aside: you might want to see a doctor or dermatologist..

[Asker]

😂😂😂😂 yeah I’m going to book an appointment

It's most likely a fungal infection. You should see a dermatologist. Easy solution for this. Nothing to freak out about. If it was very white or very pick, then I would worry more.

[Asker]

OMG NOW I can't SLEEP. Are you saying there is fungus on my skin? 😭😭😭😭😭 I used disinfectant spray on week all over and now I have a fungus infection all of a sudden omg

[Asker]

But wait I see a lot of tiny patches around my fingers and other arm. Is that also part of a fungal infection? I’ve had the top patch for about 6 years now

[HaveNoName]

Something for 6 years has to be fungal. (BTW, I'm not a doctor. Just speaking from personal experience of a very problematic skin)

The tiny ones could be a reaction to whatever you used. Please see a dermatologist. Don't freak out.

If you have severe itching or burning, you me even want to go to Urgent care to get quick relief first.

[Asker]

There is no itching or burning or redness. Online I checked and it said on some health sites that fungal infections last up to two years so maybe it’s a tumor lol

[Guanfei]

Easy, it's

[CoffeeWC]

I have a birthmark that looks just like that

[Asker]

Well I guess then I have 3 birthmarks now. I have a dark brown on my leg. I guess since I’m half black and half white this is what happens

[CoffeeWC]

If you had that since birth, it would probably be a birthmark. if not then it's not a birthmark. To confirm, you should talk to a doctor.
