I have a patch of lighter coloured skin on my belly, what could it be?

Just below my belly button I have a patch of skin that is much lighter than the rest of my skin... what is it, and could it be a sign of some other undetected health problem?

No, not at all, a lot of people have lighter patches on their skin. My sister even has it in her hair, she's got dark brown hair within the middle a blond patch. It's called pigment-vlek in dutch, but I don't know in English.





Do not take pills, as some people recommend you, it's totally normal!!!!

it's possible that it could be something, but if you've had it your whole life it could just simply be a birthmark
Reply:lack of calcium in body.....you need not to worry about that it's normal thing ......just take pills of calcium it will remove with passage of time
Reply:Are you African American? Sometimes AF AM ppl can get skin pigmentation discolorations. I heard that Michael Jackson has it and thats why he wears make-up. Why he does'nt wear brown instead of white who knows? Sorry that was uncalled for, but maybe it's that?
Reply:there cud be many reasons...may b u had a birth mark all the time...or may be u had a burn there...or may be theres less melanin over there...try figuring out urself ...u kno it better..
Reply:if it's itchy, it's a fungal problem. See a doctor if that's the case, and he'll prescribe you what is appropriate.
Reply:it could be vitiligo,where patches of pigment are lost on the skin, in dark-skinned people.Sometimes it can stay as one patch,or it can get bigger,oron other areas of your body.This is what Michael Jackson supposedly said he has.You should go see a dermatologist,but I don't think there's anything you can do to bring pigment back.
