RE: Fw: Brown Stain on Skin

[Guest guest]

I have same brown stain on my lower calf too, but only on one leg, and I don't seem to have a problem with low adrenals. Would be nice to know what causes it. It looks like I've been a bit over heavy on the fake tanning lotion! Anne

Hi Keri

There is lots about this particular 'sign' of hypoadrenai on the Internet, but this site is particularly good http://tuberose.com/Adrenal_Glands.html .

Glad to see that you got back home safe and sound and just to say it was really lovely to see you up here. We really enjoyed your company.

Luv - Sheila

One of the conditions where this happens is in low adrenal reserve. One of the symptom which is occasionally encountered in hypoadrenia is that of increased pigmentation of the skin. Hi Sheila and , very interesting. I have pigmentation in my right armpit and have had for years - I saw a dermatologist who said it was nothing. I concluded that it was to do with my liver being in that meridian. I would be interested to hear more.luv keri

I have the horrible 'ginger' mottling on the backs of my arms - I think they are called liver spots if they are dark, but mine aren't, but I hate them and would do anything to disguise them. I think I have an adrenal problem at the moment and need to up my NAE.

Why do I have to be different, I have little white loss of pigment

dots on my shins and calves about the size of pin heads. These stay

white when I go brown.

You are not alone - I have the same white dots on my shins and

calves too except most of mine are a lot bigger than the size of a

pin head!

I was once told (which doesnt mean its true) that these were little

white fungus and 'selsun' dandruf shampoo dabbed on gets rid of them.

At that time in my life I tried it and it did work (30 years ago) but

have no idea if it was right, never had them since.

Hi

Selsun is a selenium sulphide dermatitis treatment ~ still available.

The generally low levels of selenium in the soil and food chain

cause, not only poor thyroid function (deiodinase enzymes), but also

mitochondrial dysfunction (through oxidative damage).

The advice on selenium supplementation is valid on this forum; short-

term rapid replacement may be OK up to 200 micrograms/day, but longer

term, it needs to be kept down to somthing like 50-100micrograms/day

and preferably with confirmatory testing of Zinc, Copper and Selenium

in serum.

best wishes

Bob

Virtiligo has white spots. Many hypoT's have this.

Here is a question and answer about white spots:

Figure that is what it must be thanks.

Hi F,

Selsun contains selenium and we hypos are often deficient in

this mineral.

I also think you may have suffered from mollusca contagians to be given

this advice ( my son had this so I know the difference) these white spots

are simple areas with no pigment. The mollusca ones are raised and if left

dry up, a small lump scales off with the skin.

Hi

No you're not different! I've got them on my forearms along with

the liver spots, my daughter calls me her multicolour mum!

Hi all ,

I seem to remember on reading

the hypoadrenal symptoms on http://www.drrind.com

that this was mentioned especially with a darkening around the mouth.

Subject: Re: Fw:

I wonder if this explains why my ankles and now the top of my feet

are brown mottled. It is very embarrassing because it looks

as if it is dirty.

that of increased pigmentation of the skin.

Hi

I really don't have a clue - I had assumed it was because of all the

insect bites I have had over the years. The skin although it heals

has lost its pigmentation where those bites were.

For many years I have been bug bait and now that I have finally been

diagnosed as being hypo-t with hashimotos - I have found last summer

especially the bugs ate me for breakfast,lunch & dinner!

This year I am trying to stay away from the biting insects as much as

possible and hopefully not get a bad reaction like last year. We

shall have to see how successful I am at that. I spend a lot of time

outside.

As for the mottled legs I am beginning to rather like the look of

them especially as I am now getting a tan so you see there is an

upside to everything even if it does make you look different.

remember the cup is always half full

you are you and I are me and we are all the better for it........

regards,

................

time I had a sit down and a cuppa I is pooped!

Hi

I have been taking vitamin B supplements and since taking them I have

noticed I get eaten a lot less often. It is such a long time ago but I

did read up that veggies were more appetising than carnivores and the

reason so many people swear by Marmite is because it is a source of

vitamin B.

Hi

This has been very helpful as I have a multicolored skin ha ha and

have noticed white spots and brown ones just thought it was ageing. I

think I am taking more notice of my skin now that I am loosing weight

and wanting to look good and realise that something is wrong! I will

look into both of these advices that are given on thesite you have

pointed out. My doctor will really think I am going batty now!

Thanks

Hi ,

I use the 'jungle formula' mozzie repellent and have found it

quite effective. My OH rarely gets bitten. I too seem to be missing pigment

where I've been bitten- hadn't really thought of that before.

Thanks Jacqui,

I have been thinking of taking vitamin B supplements but not got around

to it yet - marmite I like too although I think the supplements might

be better for me.

I tend to run out of energy late in the afternoon especially if I have

been excercising a lot - my last hit was when I played golf and the

last 4 holes were murder; my stamina was just gone!

Try Vitamin B complex and you might need Vit.B12. If you have high cholesterol or/and BP, try high dose of Niacin (Vitamin B3).

Thanks Sheila,

My cholesterol and BP seem to be under control but the vit B might be a

very good idea. My Dr gave me a vit b12 shot last christmas when I hit

rock bottom and it really helped so I think I will try some B12 first.
