Dry, White Spots on Skin?

I suggest to use plenty Vaseline or baby oil every day, good for dry skin. I also use it on my face & legs every day & night. No wrinkles on my face. The new Dr's show on TV even said to use the above, on their show. I've used it all my life. People ask me what do you use on your face!

My daughter has dry white patches on her skin and behind her ear sometimes. Her doctor says she has eczema and prescribed an ointment and told her to use cetaphil lotion and to use Dove or Ivory soap since they are mild. The dryness goes away and comes back from time to time. The dry spots fade a little once treated but they did not totally disappear but they don't have the dry look.

You need to see a doctor. If you waited 2 years and it hasn't cleared up, it may be a fungal infection or even worse. I don't want to scare you, but you need to seek professional help.

I have eczcema and that's what this sounds like. In my case it comes and goes and pops up when I am extremely stressed. Eczema can also be caused by allergens and even be hereditary.

I simply keep my skin lotioned with Cetaphil and when it's really bad and itches I dab over the counter hydrocortizon on the worst spots after applying the lotion.

You should see a doctor or dermatologist to be sure this is what it is though.

I've said it before & I'll say it again; any unusual skin conditions, it more than likely is from candida. If it's outside, it's inside, too & can cause a huge amount of problems. Not to scare you, but there have even been studies, where candida is at the center of cancer tumors. That that's where it starts.

This sounds like what I have. I have been to doctors and used their prescription creams and have had no luck. The best thing I found that actually clears it up is Gold Bond Ultimate Healing lotion. Not the soothing or softening lotions. Has to be the Healing lotion. Best stuff I ever used. Use it twice a day.

I just got back from the dermatologist yesterday, and I have the exact same thing. I have had it for a couple of years, and it has been on and off. My family doctor thought it was fungi etc and prescribed me different creams. None worked. I was then sent to the dermatologist, and he said it was eczcema. Cetaphil lotion and something that starts with a S and says gel which is a cleanser was what was prescribed to me. Hope this helps.
