Tinea Versicolor can come up as white or beige spots depending on your skin color. My son had it last summer. His came up as the beige spots and covered his whole trunk. They do look very similar to the actual Vitiligo disease in shape and size and I guess for someone with a dark complexion it would probably be pretty scary since it would look more white than skin ton. My great uncle who was native american had Vitiligo and I remember how very white it looked on him. It ended up being very disfiguring so you can imagine my concern when my son started having skin discoloration patches show up also and my relief to find it was only yeast and took a amtter of 4 days to fix.
I on the other hand do have the very very tiny Vitiligo spots that are on my arms and legs where i have tanned over the years. If what they say is true, it's related to my adrenal and not a sign of contracting the actual disease since it does run in my family in some manner.
