Suggest Treatment For Pale Spots On The Leg

My 17 year old daughter (caucasian) has spots on her leg. They were on both legs, but without treatment have gone away on one leg. We have had her to the pediatrician and to the dermatologist...neither know what the spots are. The spots are lighter colored. They appear to get worse in the sun. They do not itch or cause any pain. However, she is very self-conscious of the spots.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Terrible itching and burning in other parts of body may be post menopausal hot flushes and the crawling sensation could be due to dry skin. I also would like to consider the possibility of Scabies which usually can have such presentation.

I put my patients on single over night application of Permethrin cream and a good scrub bath the following day. Followed by daily application of aloe Vera based moisturizing cream will help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care. All the best.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
