Hello Jenn, My Name is Jen as well. I believe that I have the same condition that your talking about, but have not been formally told by a doctor exactly what it is, and the causes or ie: treatments. Except the use of Lamisil. That is all the doctors even have told me to use..and at first when I was younger at around 16 I started getting it on my chest...and it was pink patches that itched...and now in my 20's I'm still getting it only it's not as noticeble at least there...but on my back...it's started to "colonize" as they say..and it's all over...in these white spotted patches here and there. Mostly on my back is where it's gotten worse..and now that I know it's versicolour. I seriously want to get my skin back to it's normal colour..and fast! I wanted to know once I start that dandruff shampoo routine how long does it take to see results or is it just as a preventative? I mean does it work right away?
And will it balance out the colour again? Cause I was told that the depigmentation will take like 6ths or so to clear up?? It's white spots all over the upper part of my back and shoulders..I was going to order that tetrasil cream, which I still may do..But your advice seems good too..I'm gonna try anything..I love the summer sun too..and I want to visit some hot places this year...Hope it works!
