I am not sure how to upload a photo. I will try to figure that out.

Yes I have a white spot on my chest. I thought when I had a necklace on it didn't tab there because of the charm that lays there. However after spending a week at the beach with no necklace on, there is still a white spot.

Then my husband notice a couple more on my back left shoulder.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
It would be important to rule out Vitiligo .

The doctor will check it out with a Woods Lamp which is a special light which assists in diagnosing the condition .

The other option included a contact hypopigmentation induced by the charm which can be due to chemical reactions .

Thanks and Takecare
