A member asked:

A few days ago i discovered white spots and areas where my skin color is fading, mainly on my legs & arms. my face also burns & body is slightly itchy?

Fungal: Skin lightening and itching may be due to a variety of reasons, some of the most common being fungal infections and eczema. Trying an OTC anti-fungal or steroid may help relieve these symptoms, lacking any other information. If the symptoms persist or get worse, please see a doctor promptly.

I became itchy one day: scalp/body/arms/legs. White specs (not flakes) smaller than grains of sand appear on my shirt and bedsheets daily. I get crawling sensations on my head, but Urgent Care said no lice. Any thoughts?
