This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a housewife with white spots on my face, which have gradually extended to my neck. I have had this problem for the last month. I have these symptoms for the first time and do not use soap, cream, or cosmetics. I do not have dandruff. I do not feel any pain, itching, or any discomfort. It just looks strange. I have not applied any medicine or cream for this till now. I take Combiflam sometimes due to a fever and have not taken any other medicine. Tell me some medicine or cream and also how to use it.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

I am very sorry about your medical condition. I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms, it indicates the development of a benign nevus. Please watch out for any change in color, size, and shape. I suggest you use the following:

  1. Ointment 0.2 % Tacrolimus.

  2. Ointment 0.05 % Clobetasol once daily or 0.2 % Hydrocortisone twice daily.

Consult a specialist doctor, talk to them, and then take the medication. If your symptoms persist, schedule a follow-up.

I hope this will help you.

Thank you.
