i have this white patch on the same place on both of my arms. it started as a rash but then it turned white. how can i get my regular skin back!?!?

Post-inflammatory: Post-inflammatory change is lightening (or darkening) of skin after a rash goes away. The color usually returns to normal, but it may take awhile.  Cautious sun exposure (avoid sunburn!) will often speed up the process.

Fresh?: do you mean young skin without wrinkling? no way. But regularly put on good moisturizers, like Cerave cream, Aveno cream or Cetaphil cream(not lotion), would help to slow down the "maturing" process. Sunscrteem also would help slow down wrinkles caused by sun. Excercise, good and balanced food/nutrition, etc., would help too.

Accepted Answer

Sunscreen.: Start by applying a good, broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, whether you plan on going out in the sun or not. If you do go out in the sun, reapply sunscreen every couple of hours. Avoid any deliberate sunbathing. If you do this diligently, your skin will become light again.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Sunblock moisturizer: Many people use over-the-counter moisturizers that contain sunscreen. Avoiding exposure to the sun will let skin lighten up. However, one should take extra vitamin D to make up for not getting vitamin D from the sun. Although having tanned skin from sun exposure is not a medical illness, there are a few uncommon hormonal medical conditions that can cause skin darkening.
