little white spots

Kymberli · 07-22-2004, 06:10 PM

I have two questions first queI have been tanning on and off for a while and have noticed little white spots appearing more and more over the past 3 years esecially on my legs. I always have thought they were sun spots but some are really tiny and most are not noticable at all but I keep getting them and there are so many of them. They don't itch at all, they're just there...

Second que. what exactly does it mean if you are photosensitive?

Tinea USUALLY doesn't show up on the legs (that I'm aware of) but is definately possible. Sometimes when it's the legs it's just dry patches. Photosensitive usually you are MORE prone to burning(?) due to a medication or something else. (Hmmmm does that mean the tanning lotion makes you "photosensitive"

what could the spots be or what could cause this?

So, the que1 was, what are the spots and what is causing it ?

The "spots" may be a fungus that is activated by UV light.( there is medication for it) & yes some people are more easily burned than others. hope this helps

DO A SEARCH FOR WHITE SPOTS. There's a FEW threads out there.
