Foundation 2: Idiopathic Guttate Hypomelanosis – The “White Sun Spots”
Tiny round pale dots on arms and legs? Robert, 58, a gardener from Texas, saw them increase with years outdoors, painless but frustrating.
Daily sunscreen helped prevent worsening. Studies link chronic UV exposure to melanin loss in sun-damaged skin.
Mechanism: Damages pigment cells over time. Robert protected better—”Stopped spreading,” he noted.
Self-check: On a scale of 1-5, how much sun exposure do you get? Pityriasis alba ahead…
Bonus tip most articles skip: Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily to slow progression.
