What is that “ashy” skin condition I get in the winter?
My complexion is flawless for a great deal of the year, but come late fall early winter, patches of melanin start falling off of my left arm, just like a sunburn but I know it’s not a sunburn. The patches on my arm are dusty white which contrast with my normally chocolate complexion. It ain’t pretty. I won’t be caught dead in anything other than long sleeves that time of year. But once spring roles around, the spots disappear. The only skin condition I could research that sort of fits my description is vitiligo, but vitiligo is chronic and happens all over the body, doesn’t it? My condition only occurs at a specific time of the year and on a random spot of my body. I don’t think it’s anything serious, but I’m still curious. What gives?
Thanks The Racist, I’ll look into that. Your answer was really relevant and made an incredible amount of sense too.
Dry winter skin? That’s actual scientific terminology for the condition I have?
