Hi, please stop using clobetasol cream since it is a steroid and not appropriate treatment for fungal infection. Use micogel at night for a few weeks instead and see a doctor if there is no satisfactory response.

Its important to evaluate the cause of white patches. Whether it is infective (like fungal infection) or dermatitis or something else like vitiligo. Depending on the diagnosis you may require different treatment. Please consult a dermatologist for personalised advice.

It may take a few weeks to see noticeable results. Still if aciderm does not work for you, you may need a different depigmenting agent depending upon the type of your pigmentation and skin condition.

Ascabiol emulsion is not recommended for hookworm infection. Please consult a doctor for personalised opinion.
