A member asked:
Please tell me if there is any link between leukaemia and idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Igh is a benign skin condition probably related to chronic sun exposure. Since it produces light discoloration of the skin, it is also considered a benign type of leukoderma (leukos [greek] = white, derma = skin). With the exception of the lexical connection, there is no relationship with leukemia, a form of blood cancer.
