Scaring/pigmintataion

[jiml]

Hi Braye Fumaderm is a slow drug to clear you completely, are you on the full dose of six tablets a day?
If so how long have you been on full dose ?

The pigmentation of your skin the redness will almost certainly go and revert to normal skin colour. If however you are left with white spots where the pigment has gone from your skin..I think that the colour should return but may take time and you may need a bit of makeup if it bothers you. Your skin will be flat just lacking pigment.
I still have a couple of white spots that show up more in the summer when I get my tan   they are on my lower legs

I started with one tablet on the 5th of august 2015, then 2 the 12th of aug and 3 on the 22nd of sep. I think i started on 4 from the 23rd nov and im currently on 4 a day at 120mg. I think its still red as it may be active still. Ive a few faint plagues slightly flakey left. I have white spots on my arms because i got a lot of sun during the summer. It doesnt bother me once its not flakey and red

That's good that you have so much clearance on 4 a day..... But if the ankles don't start to subside it may be worth asking to increase to 5 a day just to get total clearance .... When you have that after a couple of months you can start to reduce to a maintenance dose, for me if I go below 4 tablets I get the plaques start to reappear

The White spots don't worry me either as it's not like psoriasis and nobody shies away from a few white spots
I'm sure your ankles will clear, there is usually somewhere stubborn to remind you that you have the disease

Yeah my next appointment is the 22nd feb so i'll ask for an increase of 5. Yeah very true i always feel like its going to get worse again because its still there. Its hard socially when you want to wear a dress, heels ect. Its the legs that are so stubborn. Its strange how some bits just linger

Yes it's always there at the back of your mind it's the first thing I think of in the morning and I'm always relieved even now, when it's still clear. I used to dread going to get my hair cut and prepared my scalp for a week before I dared go
I have the same problem with dresses I'm putting that before anyone else does....
