I thought was jock itch. I used some o.t.c. stuff as prescribed. it didn't help. After a month I went to my Derm. He prescribed cortisone & almost immediately it got better. then, after another few weeks I started noticing the skin getting lighter where it was. and then all pigment was gone. I had 2 large (like a pencil erasure spots size) 2 smaller and one very small white spots. He said some times peoples immune systems go into over-drive (like mine. many many years ago I had a mild case of coup de sabre or morphea.) sometimes when the immune system attacks it doesn't stop at the pathogen. It can continue devouring our cells: fat, hair and pigment cells ( vitiligo (leucoderma. think Michael Jackson) Derm Rx'd Protopic and after 4-6 weeks the color is returning. Michael*
