Will Eidel-induced hypopigmented patch fade on its own?

Hello doctor,

I experienced a rash after an allergic reaction that spans from my chest, neck, and face. I removed the allergen from my diet and was prescribed Elidel to help clear the rash. However, I experienced over the course of two to three days, white patches which look as there is absolutely no pigment present in these areas.

Will hypopigmentation from the use of Elidel fade? I was prescribed Elidel for the first time for a rash on my face. I am pale, but these are extremely white patches reminiscent of acne scars (but being completely flat). Is this likely to be permanent? Will it likely fade? If it may fade, how long would this likely take? What are my potential treatment options? No major injury to the sites was noticed aside from the generalized rash that was being treated.

What could be causing the spots on my hands with mild itching?

Hi doctor,

I have a few spots like the ones attached in the photos on both hands. They are itchy sometimes but not very itchy, and most times, they are just inactive. I use Halovate cream, and they go away, but one to two spots show up randomly, maybe somewhere else on the palm or back of the hand, maybe a week later. Online information about palm spots talks about serious diseases like syphilis and psoriasis, so I was worried after checking the internet.

Kindly help.
