What Causes An Uneven White Line On The Finger Running Along The Arm?
Hi, I have an uneven white uneven broken line starting from my little finger going up my arm and down to the middle of my back. I’ve had this since I was a child and to my knowledge it has not spread. When I tan the white line doesn’t tan and is even more obvious. I have read online so far I feel it could be vitiligo however I’m not sure. What could it be?
It may be stretch marks, or band of vitiligo of congenital original or tenia infection et cetera. Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is.
Please consult your Dermatologist, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
