I have a small patch of skin that is off color on my lower right jaw. It is not bumpy or no texture difference just slightly off tone, lighter than the rest of my skin. Anyone have any clue what it could be?
Discoloration on face?
I had a similar patch on my back when I was in my late teens.
I went to the doctor. He gave me an anti-fungal lotion. He told me if the patch was still pale after using the whole bottle that I did not a fungus but rather a genetic condition with a long name I do not recall. Anyway this condition causes the skins pigmentation to migrate. ( My sister later developed a similar condition... so it does run in families)
He recommended that I stay out of the sun; or wear hats... this was before sunscreens were readily available.
I took his advice and quit sunbathing. I cannot find the place on my back.
During a summer pregnancy I developed a spot on my forehead and jaw. If I am extremely careful with hats and sunscreen and umbrellas, I can keep my skin almost even.
See your doctor.
Reply:May be some fungus ir baterial infection??
Reply:If you have been tanning or out in the sun it could just be a blotchy patch of skin. As long as it doesn't change, itch, or grow that's what it probably is. Is it lighter or darker than the rest of your skin?
