Hello. Is it permissible to apply moisturising creams on face with a small white patches.? My skin is dry. So I apply moisturising creams for men. Is the white patch due to lack of some vitamins? Is it a problem because I am washing my face with chlorine treated water?

Even if you have the white patch, you should still apply moisturising cream. Secondly, you should also get a treatment for white patches. White patch could be leucoderma.
