Symptom #3: Discolored Skin Patches

Spend enough time exposed to the sun and you are likely to find that your skin will change color. You could also experience discolored skin if you come into contact with chemicals and it can also be an indicator of an illness. It is also a common symptom among people that have leprosy.

Discolored patches associated with leprosy will tend to be a lighter color than the surrounding skin, causing an effect that makes the skin look faded. They will also be flat and numb to the touch. Discoloration of the skin can be caused by a range of potentially serious problems so you should get it checked by a medical professional.
