YOU CAN NOT PURCHASE THE CHEAP STUFF OR IT WILL TURN YOUR SKIN ORANGE. TRY THE MORE EXPENSIVE ONES. THEY DO WORK.

I have the same thing you have by the sounds of it.  My doctor told me its called tinea versicolor which is a type of skin fungus.  I'm about at my whits end with this, I've tried alot of solutions and so far nothing has helped but its probably because its too soon.  My doctor gave me an oral form of nizoral to take for a month which I've just completed.  In the mean time I've been applying selsun blue to the affected areas daily and leaving it on for about 10 minutes.  Too me it just seems its getting worse day after day, the small spots turn bigger and join together to make bigger spots.  I'm frusterated but from all of the research I've done online it sounds like the fungus is easy to kill its just the discoloration of the skin that takes months to return to normal.  Hope that helps you at all, your not the only one!

use rubbing alcohol. Put it on each time you go to the bathroom and when you shower.\n\nyou will not totally remove it, but it will make it small and hard to see.\n\nyou could buy a cheap face cream, but do not buy a bunch of expensive stuff, lots of it dont work

try hydrocortisone or benadryl cream but use sparingly since it's such a sensitive area.\n\nwhoever this person is that you are going to see should understand what happened and be respectful to you (i'm assuming that you are close with this person since they are going to see that part of your body!!)\n\nmake sure not to use anything with dyes or prefumes in it until the irritation goes away.

You may want to try petroleum jelly or olive oil. It always works for me.\n\nYou could put on a glove after applying the above mentioned before you sleep. When you wake up use the normal lotion that you are have been using. Try this for at least 1 week - you should feel a difference. Return to your normal moisturising lotion.\n\nIf persist drying try the same method again or see a dermatologist.

Sounds like dry skin from the winter cold and wind.\nI like St. Eves formula skin lotions. They are the only ones that work for me and are not greesy.\nGold Bond Ultra Lotion has been advertised alot lately and it be it works as this type has been around a long long time. Hope to try it out.\nMake sure you exfoliate your legs in the shower or bath. This gets the dead skin cells off so you dont itch so much. Just make sure you put the lotion on right after you get out.

My Mom used to use this stuff that stains your skin, but, it works super great, and she's even completely rid of it, however, you may have to have the pharmacy order it, its called: "Oxypor", and its a tad expensive, but its a miracle medicine!! It stained mom's stomache, and elbows, when she used it, but eventually like most body stains, of sorts, they do go away. Good-Luck, to you! Just give your local pharmacy a "Jingle" and get things set up to order it. You might even have a pharmacy that keeps it stocked in back, who knows. But, I would definately give them a call.  Happy Bird Day, to you & Yours!! smile!!!

Proactiv is amazing. I have had skin problems for years, and this cleaned it up very quickly. If you purchase one of the kits they will go in to depth telling you about the misconceptions regarding skin care and why ProActive works to well. \n\nAs a quick run down, pimples are usually not caused by eating oily foods or chocolate as I am sure you have heard over the years. It is caused by your skins lack of ability to shed dead skin cells. This causes your pores to be covered in layers of dead cells, effectivly preventing your skins natural oils to become trapped within. \n\nProActive is so effective in eliminating pimples due to the active ingredents, such as benzyl peroxide, which burns away the dead skin cells. Benzyl peroxide is also great for evening your skin tone as the dark spots left on many people's skin from breakouts of acne get lightened. \n\nThe entire kit WILL, however, dry out your skin and make it more sensitive to light. To counter this, you can either purchase their lotion with SPF protection OR simply go a pharmacy and purchase a non-comedogenic (will not clog pores) lotion with SPF protection. On that note, ALL make-up that you purchase should be non-comedogenic (just read the lable). \n\nIf cost is any issue, you can go to a local pharmacy and look for products with benzyl peroxide in it and combine that with a fairly expensive cleaning regime (such as Clinique from The Bay) and it will essentially do the same thing.\n\nWell that is pretty much everything I can think of right now. Just edit your question if you wish to know more and I will modify my response. I tried it and I LOVE it. Give it a shot and see what you think. For more information, go to http://www.proactive.com/

you can try a tanning salon, whatever pigment you have in the skin is your default, that will never change, you can change the tan by exposure, good luck

Without knowing all the details, it sounds like nail polish to me, also.\nIf you are in general good health, nail polish may be the culprit.\n\nBuffing works and is natural.

If it bothers you, you should see another dermatologist. Tetracylin is really side-effect ridden drug, I have brown patches on MY TEETH from my mum taking it when she was pregnant with me. \n\nThere are lotions etc, available which can lighten the skin... but in the mean time, as it may be patches of melanin (what makes your skin tan) make sure you ALWAYS wear sunscreen, even on days when it's raining. Vit A (especially at Roaccutane levels) can leave the skin very sensitive to light.\n\nAs a very quick solution, probably it's best to get a really good cosmetic concealer. There's a sort which is used for birthmarks or burns - ask a cosmetologist.  That's not a long term solution though it may help you feel better in the meantime.\n\nYou don't have to live with this, and while you may not trust professionals, keep getting second opinions until you find something that works for you.\n\nGood luck!

Take a pain killer and a coolish bath.  Do you have Noxzema or even calamine lotion?  Perhaps a little baking soda/water paste will help.

i would suggest going to a tanning booth instead of just buying a bronzer (those liquids can be messy, and sometimes it's hard to get it on evenly). with the tanning booth, 2-3 sessions at like 6 minutes per session should do the trick. it's fast, easy, and really really relaxing!!
