A member asked:
Can poison ivy cause light patches on skin to develop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Postinflammatory: Skin can often turn light colored in areas where someone had an allergic reaction like poison ivy. This is called "postinflammatory hypopigmentation". This is usually not scarring and will resolve.
