Do the white patches (hypopigmentati. that follow an exzema outbreak go away?

Question:

I broke out in eczema in February. Doctor prescribed corticosteroids. The eczema is going away but now there are white patches (hypopigmentation). Do these eventually go away?

Answers:
I had this condition last year and it is still a problem, it has to be treated on regular basis if you fail to treat it then the rash will flare up and the light patches will appear.

My light patches were very light and now they have nearly disappeared. Try using Dream cream from Lush it helps to relive the itchyness and also helps to get colour back!

In a word Yes, the white patches will go away but you will always battlle with the ezema to keep the skin colour from not lightening.

Other Answers:
Superficial skin inflammation (common ) often leaves dark or olive skin discolored for a while. This can be too much color or too little. Your term, "hypopigmentation," is accurate--less pigment, not no pigment. Repigmentation can take months. There really isn't much you can do to speed it up. But the pigment very likely will come back on its own.
