Tuberous Sclerosis – Causes, Symptoms & Treatments

Skin Abnormality

If you suffer from tuberous sclerosis, some abnormalities would show up on your skin. The most typical sign is the show-up of light-colored patches around the body. They tend to be lighter in color than other areas. In addition, you should look for any small spots of smooth, thickened skin or red bumps around or under the fingernails. In kids, some facial growths might also appear. In most cases, they look quite similar to acne. All of these signs can be attributed to unusual growths under the affected skin areas. [3]
