Q. What does the white spot-like hypopigmentation on my neck suggest?
Hi doctor,
I noticed a small white spot on my neck, almost like hypopigmentation, but I am not positive. I am a 23-years-old male with no health issues. Please help, doctor. Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Since when are you having this issue? Is it itchy? Is it increasing in size? Are any other areas involved? Kindly help me with a brief history for diagnosis. Thank you.
Hi doctor,
I just discovered it today. Although, I subconsciously feel like I have seen it in the back of my mind but never paid attention to it. But today, I truly noticed it. No other areas on my face or my body that I noticed, and not itchy at all. Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I suggest you use (consult with a specialist doctor, talk with him or her and take medicines with their consent) ointment Tacrolimus 0.1 % for local application daily in the night for one month and look for a response. In a maximum of three weeks, it should improve. If there is no response, even after one month, you can get a physical examination done. Thank you.
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your response. Can I buy the ointment over-the-counter? Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
It can be bought over-the-counter in many places. The composition has to be the same, and the brands can differ. Thank you.
