It is a digestive issue through food allergies.cut out foods that cause you allergies like milk/dairy.and take apple cider vinegar everyday.Also take probiotics every day.
Was it just the vagisil cream, or was it something to cure a yeast infection like monostat?
I started with a spot or two on the back of my arms and it didn't bother me but now its all ova my shoulders on my lower back,under my breasts and inbetween my legs I can't go and wear a bathing suit cos it looks really bad its big patches now and flakey people told me to use like anti dandruf shampoo but I'm scared cos I don't want to agrovate it any more how do I get rid of it pls

It is called Idiopathic Guttate Hypomelanosis (IGH)

He's the BEST. He knows more about Pharmacy than anyone and hates pharmaceutical drugs, pretty much. Gives you the vitamin and mineral deficiency solution to the problem. He specialized in making skin formulas for 20 years.
I just found that site with the image which allows me to finally know what I'm looking at and now I can call Ben as ask what to do about it.
Am sure that quaity Vit A will be the first thing. He says there's some cheap stuff that docs will push on you, and that you shouldn't take it.

For IGH it is a digestive issue.take apple cider vinegar every day cut out any food that causes you allergies and take probiotics.
I have been getting these white spots since i was 12 i am now 34. I usually get them more so in summer then winter. They first come out red and itchy then turn white. I had them going around my hair line on my face, all the way around to my neck then down my spine. I looked like something from star trek. I have tried everything that the dr has given to me but didnt work.
I have found in my local market a company that makes lemon myrtle products. I have found that the soap has worked with them. That was 3 years ago, it is only now they are coming back. I am sending my focus to jojoba and coconut oils as they are suppose to have properties for skin disorders. I will let you guys know the out come with this.
