facial discoloration

by hollywood517, May 08, 2008 10:35AM
I'm a 58 yr. old Afro-Amer. with caramel colored skin, the last 5--7 yrs. I've seen a bright, almost
white discoloring on both sides of my mustache.  About the size of a nickel, sometimes there's a
bit of chaffing of skin,  one doctor told me to apply Selsun Blue, I did and the chaffing left, but the
situation reoccurs.  Help!!!

Hi,

This could be allergic reactions to unknown substances, skin hypersensitivity, eczema, dermatitis or sun rash.

Do you notice the lesions trigerred in response to a specific stimulus like sun exposure?

You should try to keep the area dry and clean. Try some powder to absorb the sweat.

Apply calamine lotion at the site and take some oral antihistamine medications for your complaints.

If the symptoms are still persistent, consult your dermatologist and get a proper clinical evaluation done.

Let us know if you have any doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Good luck.
