I am 63 year old woman. I have noticed a very tiny white spot in the middle of left wrist and elbow only. I do not know what is it and how it has developed. But I am suspicious if it is sign of leukoderma as it is of the same size and color for the last 2-3 months. Please suggest me what it is and how can I check if it is the sign of leukoderma. And the remedy too, esp. Home remedy.

Hello. White patches/ dots on your skin are a common type of depigmented skin lesion associated with an infection, allergy, or autoimmune disorder. Or it can be idiopathic, i. E. Without any cause! one common cause of white spots, or hypopigmentation, is a fungal infection of the skin known as tinea versicolor (associated with other symptoms, such as itching or dryness on or around the white patches). This fungal infection is not contagious and can be treated easily with over-the-counter medications. The white spots and patches can also be because of deficiency of vitamin d (for which 15-20 minutes of exposure to early morning sunlight without sunscreen is needed, 3-4 times a week). Or else they could be idiopathic (i. E, without any cause). Vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder which can be treated with homoeopathic medicines, but chances of relapses are also there. Please tell me other symptoms like about sensation on the area, since how long do you have this patch, any family history of white patch, etc.
