Hi,
I have a skin discoloration problem.. A few years ago I had tineaversicolor (little red patches that eventually disappeared and left white patches behind)
I treated this with lots of zinc ointment and eventually it went away. However, when I returned to colder climate, my tan went away and only the skin around my neck and chest area remained slightly tanned. I should mention it is often dry.
Now I have returned to a warm climate. Initially the rest of my body caught up with the slightly darker area and now it it has surpassed it so the area that looked darker is now lighter. It just wont tan or lose colour.
The edges are well defined, and it is a sort of V shape. Is there a home remedy for this or must I see a doctor? And could it be too much zinc that caused this?
