Have you noticed small white spots on your arms or legs… and you don’t know what they are?

• IGH is smooth, non-itchy, and often appears on arms or legs
• Fungal discoloration is more common on the upper torso and may look scaly or itchy

If the patches itch, spread rapidly, or noticeably change, a medical evaluation can help rule out other causes.

What You Can Do

Even though the spots cannot be reversed, you still have practical ways to reduce how visible they appear and prevent new ones from developing:

• Daily sunscreen use to limit further pigment loss
• Moisturizers to support skin texture
• Self-tanners or body makeup for cosmetic coverage

Most importantly, remember that these marks are extremely widespread and medically insignificant. They do not reflect poor health or disease. Instead, they are a common sign of skin that has experienced years of sunshine and natural aging.
