Have Skin Hypopigmentation Disorder---- Recently started NEW treatment!

Hi, do you have an update on your condition? any new pics?

Can you add some new pictures of your progress please i would really like to see them since i'm also battling with the same thing and have started using topical cream.

I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story. I was suffering for over 10 years with the same issue only to constantly have it misdiagnosed as tinea versicolor. I have tried so many many different treatments over the years, and after seeing your post and doing a bit more research I decided to visit yet another dermatologist who listened to my story and dismissed my claims of having this because he had never heard of this before, and thought it would be unlikely I would have something so rare. He insisted I had poorly treated tinea versicolor ::insert eyeroll:: and later insisted on taking a skin biopsy after I kept insisting I didn't have that. After much back and forth he VERY grudgingly prescribed the harmless 1% clindamycin lotion and I started seeing results after 1 week. It's been a few months and my skin finally looks normal!

I couldn't be happier and I encourage others who are experiencing the same to be insistent with their dermatologist on at least giving this fairly harmless topical lotion a try. I have normal looking skin and no scar from an unnecessary skin biopsy.

(Let me note, that this dermatologist was working under a well known and prestigious NYC dermatologist. I've also visited other dermatologists who had very good reputations and tons of experience - none were obviously of any help).

Can you share the result please? I have same disaese

I was curious if you have any updates- I seriously think I have the same disorder as your pics look a lot like what my body is undergoing!

Is the treatment working with the clindamycin?

Hi! I suffer from M P. hipomelanosis as well and have been battling with it for years. Before, I was diagnosed with Tinea etc until I did my own research after seeing many doctors. Could you pls tell me if the combination of clindamycin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide worked for you and how long it took before you could actually see positive results? Thank you!!!!

I'm having a hard time finding a dermatologist or doctor to treat me or care enough to try. Any suggestions?
