I'm not even sure why I'm up at 3AM, worried about this crap.
Shortly after I began my fling with anxiety, I noticed a patch of skin on my left hand was slightly lighter than the rest. Not bright white, and it's not hugely noticeable. I've considered vitiligo, but I would have expected it to be somewhat lighter/brighter if that were the case. Sometimes, I can barely see it, but it does appear to have gotten a little larger.
There's times when I don't even think I'm really seeing anything at all. It just looks slightly lighter than the rest of my hand. The texture of the skin is normal. I'm scared it is vitiligo caused by anxiety, but every picture I've seen shows a significant lightening of the skin. It could also be a yeast infection known as tinea versicolour, but it would normally be scaly. I have no family history of vitiligo, I do not burn easily (I tan very easily) and I have olive toned skin.
Is it possible that it is just caused by anxiety?
