Melanoma No Mole
Is a patch of white blotches on the skin something to worry about?
My husband has a portion on his shoulder blade where he has white blotches. I have noticed it before but I can’t remember if it has always been there and since he can’t really see his back he doesnt know either. He says it doesn’t bother him at all no itching, hurting, anything. It looks kind of like scars from acne like little circles like that but they are like white….or like some peoples skin looks after they burn and start peeling but he doesnt have sun burn. I thought about skin cancer but all the pictures I looked at did not at all look like this. It isn’t raised off of the skin it is smooth. And Melanoma and skin cancers they say start out looking like a wart or mole which this is definitely not. Maybe a birth mark? Would birth marks be white instead of brown. He has a dark complexion (he is German) so these marks I guess are more like flesh colored (the color of my complexion compared to him). Has anybody ever seen or had something like this?? What was it?
i had this weird random rash once didn’t itch or hurt me only lasted a few days but left some white patches, one on my shoulder, but its gone now that was maybe just under a year ago? doesnt sound serious just some kind of pigment loss. dont worry
