I have been tanning outside and there are a couple spots on me that just stay white when the rest of me gets tan, I was wondering if you guys knew anything I could put on those little spots to make them tan or something??

I don't have a camera but its just like my whole face will tan and then right along my bottom lip there's a thin line that stays white and a random spot on my back.

It may be hypopigmentation in which case there is no treatment for this. Sorry I know that's not what you want to hear. It's the lack of melanin production resulting in light-colored areas.

Don't tan! Its bad for your skin, and you'll regret it when you're older. You're pretty the way you are.

It's a fungus that depletes the pigmentation in your skin (I have it too on my back and chest) you have to go to the doctor and they will give you an ointment or there are pills that you take for 5 days once a year for it but they will order a kidney functions test before they prescribe it.

Hope this helped. If its not treated it gets much worse! I ignored it thinking they were old acne scars and it started spotting on my neck.

I agree it's a fungus.

Go to the doctor, invest in a good self tanner, and stay out of the sun! Tanning is so bad, I've had several potential scares and it wasn't worth the.

The spots have nothing to do with tanning in the sun.

That sounds like tinea versicolor it is a fungus that blocks the sun from being able to tan the areas the fungus is you can use a antifungal on the area but you really should be using spf when out in the sun.
