Answer: White spots and sun Those are basically loss of pigments due to the "death" of the melanocytes due to... sun exposure. I would recommend that you consult with a Dermatologist to go over skin care/protection.

Answer: White spots You are right, you are pretty young to get IGH, but it depends on your overall amount of sun damage, skin type, and habits such as use of tanning beds, outdoor sports, sunbathing, etc. Some people do start developing signs of excessive sun damage early. I would recommend seeing a dermatologist in your area regularly to make sure you stay on top of the condition and discuss proper sun protection and be checked for precancerous lesions. Good luck!

Answer: Idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis vs Guttate vitligo ...read more Thanks for the photo, however for a definitive diagnosis you should consult a dermatologist . IF this is guttate vitligo than treatments such as phototherapy, and anti inflammatory creams can help. If it is Idopathic hypomelanosis, not much can be done, I think its worth while to get a definitive diagnosis. All the best. Dr Davin LimLaser DermatologistBrisbane, AUSTRALIA
