This skin condition seems to be very common with athletes , My shoulder and back is starting to loose its pigment , It has no COLOR, KINDA LIKE A SPLOTCHY PATTERN, when I go in the sun It turns brite red and some times itches. WTF!!!!!!!!!! So my doctor says take NIZOREL, eat TWO pills go work out and let the sweat dry on you for a while , AND I did it < I EVEV GOT A PLATIC SWEAT SUIT AND WENT OUT AND PLAYED ICE HOCKEY. I was covered in sweat. SO WTF IS THE REASON THIS F**KIN SKIN DESEASE WONT GO AWAY?????

What did the doctor diagnose you with? Was it vitiligo (aka leukoderma)?

I bet the shampoo had Nioxin in it , one Doctor told me to rub head and sholders on my skin , proble the same thing

Nioxin is the brand name of a group of products. There is no such thing as having "Nioxin" in a product since Nioxin ARE products.

All u need is Dandruff shampoo, just rub it on the blotchy areas when you shower, it takes a week or so but it goes away

What you have is Tinea Versicolor. It's a skin fungus that's pretty common. My buddy Brent got this shit all over his back and arms. I'm almost positive that's what it is cause I had a mild case. Look for a product by Body Drench called WIPE OUT. Or you can just go to the store and get selsun blue to use on it. That's what certain dermatologists recommend.
