I have the same white spots and read your response to the vitamin supplements recommended. I intend to purchase these supplements, but wanted clarification, on some of the supplements recommended, are you recommending a supplement call;
Thank you in advance for you assistance, I really appreciate it.

Margaret, I have the same problem, so has my husband. Please keep us informed of your progress..... Ted advised me a protocol quite a while ago but I haven't had the time to really look into it yet as I have had other health issues and we are moving house right now as well, so enough other stuff in my head but if you notice any difference in the spots please tell me!Replied by Andrea (Dorset, U.k) on 11/22/2011
To everyone who has white 'freckles' or Idiopathic Guttate Hopomelanosis... The only thing that works is the Xtrac laser. It's available in the US but at only one centre in London. I've had IGH for years and over a year of treatments with the Xtrac laser reduced them from being very obvious (they are on my upper neck under my ears and upper chest) to being acceptable. But they haven't completely gone and the cost of laser treatment is prohibitive for that period of time (thousands of £'s). Avoid the sun, please. It makes them worse. It's the sun that causes them. No vitamins/creams/ etc work at all so save your money. (Tried everything). Basically they are white freckles and we should all start 'loving' them rather than hiding them! And be realistic; they don't cause death nor are harbingers of cancer.Replied by Luvdusun (Fayetteville, Nc Usa) on 12/12/2011
Anatabloc may help. I started taking it because of an itchy skin condition on my scalp that caused huge dandruff flakes. It only took three days for Anatabloc to make that go away. But when I stop taking it, the condition returns. So I have been taking it for three months now and noticed that the very prominent white spots on my forearms had faded to the point that they are almost unnoticeable.
I had not bothered with them because they did not hurt and I figured that it was just my age. But when I noticed that they have about disappeared, I started looking to see what they were in the first place. That is why I found this website. FWIW

You probably have a fungal infection then. Spots on the skin - light and dark occur for a variety of reasons - hormonal, disturbed metabolism, drug side effects, missing nutrients, toxic loads on body, fungal and other infections, digestive disorders etc. Take a careful look at these. If a certain remedy works, work backwards from it to understand the cause of the problem. The same problem will likely plague other members of your family.
