Cure for white spots on shoulders and back- milk spots ?
Posted: 11-12-07 08:22am

I have little white spots on my shoulders and back - they are not very noticable but there is quite a lot there.

I have been to my doctors who called them 'milk spots' - whatever that means and there is no cure to get rid of them..

Has anyone else got the same and has a cure??!! Mad

I've heard that is might be candita, an overgrowth of a fungus that lives in your body. Candita may be systemic and needs to be treated with a full 6-8 week detox that includes a diet of no sugars. How badly do you want these things to go away?

Really??? My doctor said they are nothing!
They don't bother me that much really - just in the summer when i'd like to wear sleeveless tops etc...

My Guess...tinea Versicolor?
Posted: 11-15-07 00:18am

I got the same thing this summer. I visited a dermatologist and it turned out to be tinea versicolor. VERY COMMON and TOTALLY TREATABLE. It started with white spots on my shoulders, then I started noticing some on my chest & back.
It is a "yeast" that all of us have on our bodies, but sometimes our bodies dont "take care" of it and it starts to spread. It causes your body to not pigment where it is "overactive". I was given a prescription shampoo. However, google tinea versicolor and you will see you can sometime treat mild cases with over the counter products. It has been about two months and I am slowly starting to notice the spots disappearing. Hope this helps.
