Hey guys... I have like this weird discolorization around my bicep area that wasn't there before. YOu know how sometimes you see adolecense (sp?) with little dabs of white/light patches on their faces? It seems to be like that but on my arm...

Any reason for this? I work out... so I dunno if that has to do w/ skin stretching or anything...

LMK what you guys think, thanks

Sounds like Tinea versicolor



<< Tinea Versicolor. This fungus actually changes the color of the skin it infects; the patches may be lighter or darker than your normal surrounding skin. This spotted pattern and the fine scaly flakes at the margins make this fungal infection the easiest to identify. Since itching and irritation are mild, it?s also the least bothersome >>


If I remember correctly, Lamisil takes care of it. Go see a dermatologist if you're concerned, though.

EDIT: Lots of info here.
