I just can't seem to snag an appointment with a specialist, and my GP says this whole thing is pretty common anyway... A friend told me she cleared hers up using a tanning bed and hasn't had an issue since. Honestly, though, I’m not really feeling the idea of baking under those UV lights. What if it actually makes things worse?
Where can I find some Lamisil? Honestly, I’m already dreading the summer heat—I don't want this thing bleaching out in the sun...
It’s really not a big deal. My doctor actually told me to just pick up some Monistat. She said they’re just standard skin patches. The weird thing is, they eventually clear up, but that spot stays lighter than the rest of my skin once I get a tan in the summer. I've always had pretty pale skin anyway.
Hey everyone.
Has anyone else dealt with this? For a few years now, I’ve been getting these patches on my skin. I apply some Monistat cream and they clear up. BUT... once I spend time tanning or go to a tanning salon, those exact same spots show up again as lighter patches. It feels like the Monistat just lightens them, so when the rest of my skin tans, those spots stay "un-tanned." IS THERE ANY WAY TO FIX THIS?? Please help! I honestly can't tell which looks worse—the dark spots or these light ones—but either way, it's driving me crazy. I asked at the pharmacy, but the woman there told me they don't have any cream for it and that I just have to wait for it to fade away on its own. Now I'm stuck wondering if I should keep applying stuff or just stop...
Thanks for any advice!
