It looks like it's been a while since Kutty was online, so I'm not sure if you will be able to get an update from them- but have you had a doctor look at your condition?  As was mentioned in the other replies to the post, it's important to get an exam from a doctor so that you can get an accurate diagnosis of the cause.  Hope that helps!

Hi
I also have same problem. When i get hurt, after some time that part of my skin becomes white.
now appears some white patches on my lips also.

Is it Vitiligo. ?

Doctor told me that, my body consider that i have foreign skin tone. so its gives white color tone like foreigners.

Is it possible?

Hello,
Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin are destroyed. As a result, white patches appear on the skin in different parts of the body. Diagnosis can be confirmed by external examination, blood tests to check skin cell count  for melanocytes and biopsy of the skin patches.
You should get the diagnosis confirmed from a dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Hello,
It can be due to post inflammatory hypopigmentation. Post inflammatory hypopigmentation is very difficult to treat but sometimes it goes away on its own after exposure to the sun. Creams like  Elidel cream or Protropic can be used on these hypopigmented  areas but at such a young age it is not advisable to use them without medical supervision . If the symptoms still persist then  you can talk to your dermatologist about laser-assisted chemabrasion(LACA).
