Spotted skin

2025-05-01 14:23:11
I have spotted skin over my body. It is not bumpy. No itching, no irritation, etc. just appearance wise it doesn't look good. Is it an issue? Or is it just dead skin? For a year, I have used salicyclic acid body wash and also tried using loofah gently.. however no improvement. Img attached.

Spotted or patchy discoloration over the body without symptoms is often due to post-inflammatory hypopigmentation, pityriasis versicolor, or keratinization disorders like ichthyosis vulgaris. It’s unlikely to be just dead skin if salicylic acid and exfoliation haven’t helped.
Next Steps
An online consultation with a dermatologist is recommended to assess the pattern closely—some conditions need oral or prescription-based topical treatments beyond OTC products.
Health Tips
Avoid over-exfoliation. Use a gentle urea/lactic acid-based moisturizer (like Ureaderm or Lactoderm) and limit hot showers. Sun protection helps prevent contrast from becoming more visible.
