[Bl...] Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I noticed some depigmentation on my face, white spots... I am scared it might be vitiligo, and not sure if this will go away or worsen. This is ruining my life. I am very depressed because of this. For the sake of our membership, all references to self-harm and/or harming others have been removed from this thread.

[Ch...] Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hi Blossom. We all tend to extra worrying about our health as a part of the withdrawal and recovery process. It would be a good idea to make a doctor’s appointment and find out what’s going on. Even if it is vitiligo, there are treatments. Take care, Challis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Pt...] Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 From what I know, u. CAn Have them shine a woods lamp light to diagnose. If depigmentation, then u can try protopic or elidel plus natural sunlight. Not steroid because there’s side effects with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I’ve noticed some white spotting on my arms and legs too. Crazy. Could this be benzo induced? That would be nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it out...it’s apparently due to the hormone MSH. You can google it and read about it, it’s so weird... apparently it’s only hypopigmentation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
