causes this chit, I do spend a lot of time in the sun.

I'm no MD Roger, see a doctor.

My arms do that, I think it just a pigment thing. It goes away in the winter/long sleeve shirt weather.

Peeling from a sunburn?


Or maybe you are molting?

I get a bit of that on the sides of my neck in the summer, generally when I'm in the sun a lot and my neck's got a lot of tan.

Temporary depigmentation. From the sun. If it’s temporary.

You could charge lots of money for giving that to some black folks.

there's a fungus amongus

Has it spread to your right hand and wiener yet?


Hows your eyesight lately? Any unusual hair growth?

A friend has it. Sunlight aggravates it!

That's what it looks like to me.

they're good, got exercise in the shower this morning.

could be I'm going full blown gringo.

started about two months go.

takes away from fishing money and stuff.

Mange ala George

Strikes me, you'll do more fishing alive.

Thanks Jim, needed a grin !

Roger, it's a pigmentation reaction to something, possibly sunshine, as you suggested.

You too, butter boy !

Hopefully not this Rog !

what i'm thinking, the light colored area is what i look like when i haven't been in the sun much, but the last several months fishing offshore every week or other week might have something to do with it, need to start using sun screen.

Rog, maybe two months back ya kindly invited me on one of yer awesome offshore trips 😎 A major reason for me not taking you up on was I cannot abide the summer sun off of open water, didn’t want to sound ungrateful at the time.

There’s a reason why vaqueros were all about big hats and long sleeves, and they was Mexican on both sides.

Those face gaiters sound like a plan. Roy’s has Buffs in stock too. That Korean lady who runs the Army/Navy Store in Arkansas Pass always has a bunch of good straw hats, that’s where I got the one I used on the bike trip last summer.

My brother does something very similar. He’s allergic to a chemical in sunblock creams.

Tinea Versicolor.......I've got it too, on my back.

Rosacea??

don't think so have used meds for fungus, didn't do anything.

not red , white no pimples or anything like that.

Roger,

If it is vitiligo, you might have a career in modeling for magazine covers coming up...



You can always count on the 'Fire for solid advice...

John

I'd hit it.

go eat some poutine

i'd call her a pinto.

Interesting - I don't think I ever have !

Vitiligo?

I had blotches like that before and it just went away. It was a pigment thing and as some said, it seemed worse after being in the sun frequently. It kinda looked like the opposite of a heat rash. With that said, can't hurt to have someone check it out.

Watermelon Man the re make?

Or have you had any steroid injections?

I’ve seen this before....recently.

Gotta put on my thinkin cap.

Free to a good home....😃

I've had that before myself, Selsun Blue will help. A doctor will prescribed a tan cream Selsun ointment that you rub on every day.

This is what I had and it took a concentrated topical to go away and it took like 6 weeks to disappear completely. The medicine fixes it in days but the discoloration takes quite a while to go away.

I developed vitiligo about thirteen years ago.I spent most of my life working outdoors in the sun around the water with reflective sun rays.I used to tan well and didn't mind the sun,but I also received a lot of bad sunburns when I was younger.When I developed the vitiligo,I noticed I didn't tan anymore like I once did.The areas that turned white,would just turn pink with sun exposure and even whiter later.What I found too was sunscreen isn't that great in protecting your skin if you have vitiligo.If you do use it,I found the sunscreen for babies was the best.I quit using sunscreen,I now just cover if I'm going to be in the sun for extended periods of time.Wide brim hat,long sleeves,fingerless fishing gloves and one of the tube face covers.The less sun exposure the white areas get,the darker they remain.

i'll try it.

White on bleck

Roger, if it is indeed vitiligo, there is a higher incidence of developing NTG (Normal Tension Glaucoma).

That type of glaucoma is more difficult to detect and may progress to significant optic nerve damage and even vision loss before detection because it is not characterized by elevated intraocular pressure and progressive nerve fiber loss is requires critical evaluation of the several features of the optic nerve with the idea of picking up subtile changes in the nerves rim tissue and optic cup size and shape.

If I had vitiligo I would want annual laser optic nerve scans compared to look for early NFL (Nerve Fiber Loss).
