Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
I have gone through your query, and I do understand your concern. Depigmentation of the skin can be due to multiple reasons, including:
- Previtiligo or vitiligo: This is an auto-immune condition. This means one's body cells are being attacked by their cells mistakenly. They appear as loss of pigmentation in certain areas due to loss of melanin due to this concern. Usually, if they are light or faint pink in color, they may be reduced with tacrolimus ointment and using medications like Melgain lotion along with early morning sun exposure for 15 minutes anytime between 7 am to 8 am. Other treatments like UV radiation exposure at a hospital setting called PUVA therapy and laser treatment with medications will also help.
- Tinea versicolor: This is a fungal infection that causes areas of white patches on the skin. They occur due to reduced immunity, which triggers and flares up the fungal elements that are already present in the skin. Usually, they require multivitamins, antifungal creams like luliconazole cream, antifungal soaps, and antifungal capsules like Itraconazole or Fluconazole to reduce their appearance. They may take time to subside, even up to 6 months.
- Post-inflammatory hypopigmentation: This occurs in case of any inflammation or trauma which causes the area affected to reduce the inflammation leading to loss of pigmentation in those areas. They may be reduced with tacrolimus ointment and mild steroids.
- Dry skin may also cause pigmentation to be lost.
- Venusia max cream and Logifeel cream may be used as a moisturizer to reduce dryness. Take capsule Seacod and Evion capsules may also be consumed once a day after dinner for two months.
Having said that, it would be ideal to provide a confirmative diagnosis after inspecting the affected area. For this purpose, it would be advisable to provide a clear image of the affected area by attaching it and assessing and understanding the condition better.
I hope this helps. Thank you.
