I suffer from hypopigmentation...?

---

That means that I have a lot of parts of my body where my skin is lighter but it is not a big deal but it will be when I get a lot older. I was wondering are there ways to cure it or treat it. How can people who have it more severely than me deal with it.

Please answer this question. Thank you. :D
Well actually there are lighter patches on my skin because of a genetic mutation that is actually quite common with a lot of people of different races. I do not mean dry skin patches but thank you for trying :)
My daughter has this an we were told its a form of dry skin use cetephil it works for her... do u notice its better in the winter  (+ info)

How to speed healing of white marks (hypopigmentation) on forearms?

---

I recently had some bad eczema on my forearms. My dermatologist prescribed me with a cream to clear it up, which it did. The problem, however, is that when the eczema faded it left white blotchy marks where the eczema used to be. My dermatologist told me it would fade with time, but it's been over a month and I've seen little improvement. I have recently begun using Bio-Oil in an attempt to help the re-pigmentation process, but again I've seen little improvement. Has anyone experienced anything similar? If so, how long did it take to completely fade? Thank you.

NYC girl with limited resources needs dermatological advice and answers about hypopigmentation.?

---

For about six or seven years I have been developing light spots on my upper body. The patches occur on either side in the same spots. My forearms, arm pits, neck and breasts are the sites of this condition. The color of the spots is tanish, and very apparent against my brown skin, but they are not whitish or completely void of melanin like in vitiligo cases. It causes me so much grief, humiliation, insecurity and confusion. Intimacy is difficult since the patches occur on my breasts. I'd like to know what this could be, what may have caused it, and of course, how to treat the spots. Even if your answer isn't from a medical standpoint, how do I even everything out and regain my confidence?

P.S., my aunt from Trinidad said she had the same spots on her face when she was younger and used a home remedy and it went away, so maybe it's genetic if that helps, and maybe you know what that remedy is.

Thanks so much to all who answer.
I would suggest that you see your local dermatologist, as there are several conditions that will lead to hypopigmentation. Many of these are genetic, whereas others are not. And the treatment (if possible) will depend upon what the actual diagnosis is.  (+ info)

Lack of pigment on my scrotum?

---

OK, so I have this spot on the underside of my scrotum. It's just above where the scrotum meets the leg.

It is an area of no pigment - white skin, white hair. It tends to itch a little, but that may just be general dryness and have nothing to do with this.

It was about the size of a dime 5 years ago. Now it is the size of about 6 quarters. I showed it to a doctor about 5 years ago (when I first noticed it - it's fairly hidden) and he just said it was hypopigmentation. OK, so that tells me what I already know. I couldn't get anything else out of him - I don't think he was a very good doc.

Is this something I should be concerned about? Is it Vitiligo and I'm slowly turning into Micheal Jackson?
Mahunga? I can't find that anywhere.
Sounds like you should probably go to a good doctor. Just to ease your mind at the very least. You can never be to careful.  (+ info)

veet waxing strips:a chemical burn/allergy and how to treat?

---

Hey.I waxed my underarms yesterday (for the first time), applying a gigi numbing spray with 4%lidocaine in it and then using veet waxing strips. I had trouble pulling out the hair, so on some areas I tried the strip several times. I don't know if I had an allergic reaction or if I could have actually ripped off some of my skin, but right now both of my armpits are purplish red/brown and look terrible, in addition to the fact that they hurt really badly, and i can hardly raise my arms. Has anyone ever had a similar experience? if yes, how did you treat yourself? I applied some neosporin but still cant tell if it's gotten better, though the swelling has gone away. How long could it take for this to heal, if possible at all? I am really afraid of getting scars or hypopigmentation. Thanks for your answers.
i just used it for the 1st time and worked great! it says that if you dont hold the skin taut, bruising may happen. did u hold skin taut? if not this may be why it hurts.  (+ info)
