Problem with spots on my calves

[LucyLuvsHolos]

I've had this problem for awhile, on my calves I have these spots that are lighter than my skin tone, it almost blends in with my skin but not much... It bugs me because I'm already shy about wearing shorts, skirts and dresses... and this problem is stopping me from wearing things i want to wear =.

Is there anyone else out there who knows what I'm talking about? Any suggestions on how to even out my skin tone?

Funny how things go... I'm currently wanting to lighten spots on my body.  Have you tried some sunless tanner on those little spots?  Like apply it with q-tips?  Is it a white scar or something else?

I know right >_< No I haven't, I've never heard of this actually. I've been using Palmers skin therapy oil, it's only been a week so no results yet, I'm hoping it improves it. It's not scaring, they kinda look like blotches. I was searching this problem and I came across a page that was talking about blood circulations =

If it's really bothering you, i would try a concealer, or self tanner, something colored to blend them with your skintone. Don't hesitate to consult as well. It's true blood circulation can induce skin issues, but if you don't have any other symptom of bad blood circulation, i wouldn't assume it's the cause. I know for my part, my skin is white all over, except for the eczema patches that don't want to go away.

You consult a professional and ask what, why and how. If you need a quick fix, a camouflage make-up will do should cover that.
