Hello Lybrate user, most of the time a white patch on your skin could be just dryness related, sun damage or a fungal infection. Make sure to moisturise well, sun protection with a cap or helmet and if a fungal infection was suspected I would go in for a plain clotrimazole cream rather than the combination. Hope I answered your question. T.c.

Hi, you can use vit C. It reduces dark spots to some extent. Further treatment can be advised only after assessing the dark spots to identify its cause. You could use moisturizer and sunscreen during the day to prevent further skin pigmentation. Ingredients like niacinamide and others will help. Do consult a local dermatologist for proper guidance.
