I am interested in this "patches of skin were falling out" - did this leave
lack of pigment white spots?

I have lack of pigment white spots all over my legs - and some on my arms.
I am trying to work out what is the cause of this.  I had been a long term
vegetarian (approx 15 years) before adopting a paleo type diet a year ago.

Has anyone overcome this lack of pigment problem?
