white spots pag malamig....

[izzy]

i know that a lot of tsikoteers are experts not only in automotive stuffs, but also in their respective fields and profession....
so here's my question... what could be wrong with someone whose skin show 'an-an'-like spots ONLY when it's cold (like when inside an air-conditioned room)? the person does not feel anything unusual and when the ambient temp goes to normal, the 'an-an'-like spots go away. what could be the cause of that and what can be done? or is it normal?

thanks in advance!

baka may sensitivity sya pag mababa yung humidity. is it also the same pag taglamig months?

[izzy]

not really... pag nasa airconditioned room lang talaga... pag lower than normal ang temp....

ah ok. assumption ko nga is nag-rereact yung skin nya pag mababa humidity. but of course, hindi ako derma. you can tell him/her to confirm this sa specialist.

interesting condition you have there. i've been reading on this and i've found some posts online saying that this is just a circulation problem.

I have exactly what your describing. I have had it to a minor degree for many years on the tops of my thighs...but not too noticeable. For the last year and a half I have had my shoulders and upper arms erupt in flat white spots (they almost seem to be under the skin) whenever I'm exposed to the cold. It's gotten so bad that I could never wear a sleeveless shirt. My family doctor thought it was a fungal infection and I took oral and topical anti-fungal medications with no results. I went to a dermatologist and she said it was a circulatory problem. I also have an allergy to the cold and can break out in hives if my skin temperature drops quickly...so I have often thought it was a form of allergy, where my blood vessels contract to save heat leaving white areas. If I rub my upper arm and warm it up the spots go away temporarily.

have been taking anti-histamines lately to see if that helps...it may have slightly...I'm trying brands with different active ingredients to see if one might work better...if this is a part of an allergic response. I'm thinking about asking for a referral to an allergist.

hmmm, these spots appear on my lower back whenever I stay exposed in the sun. Or kaya siguro lumalabas dahil hindi sya umi-itim kundi yung other part lang ng skin. I still have it and I doubt its a circulation problem since I workout mon-fri.

yup, I might do that later this week. Akala ko kse kapag nag sunbath lang ako lumalabas. Up until now, meron pa din.
