I have had white spots on my face and hand due to sun I guess. What should I do? its been 3 months?

Question

Hello. White patches on your skin are a common type of depigmented skin lesion associated with an infection, allergy, or autoimmune disorder. 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. 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. Do send me a clear photo of the affected area. Meantime, you can start with homoeopathic Rx - Cina 200/ twice daily for 10days.
