Treatment options for this condition may include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream to help reduce inflammation and lighten the pigmented areas. Another option could be topical retinoids like Tretinoin cream to promote skin cell turnover and improve skin texture. It is important to use these medications as directed by your healthcare provider and to follow up regularly for monitoring.

I'm a 25-year-old guy, and I've noticed that around 10 or 15 of my underarm hairs on one side have turned white all of a sudden. Is this something I should be worried about? It seems really strange to me. Why did only a few hairs change color, and why on just one side? Could there be an underlying reason for this?
