Light patches on my face

[Itzme101]

My skin complexion around my mouth has began lightening up and has formed a really noticeable light patch around the side of my mouth. The area around my nose and cheeks has also significantly lightened up as well and I have become insecure about it. Any help or advice please?

You could have vitiligo. Consult your doctor. healthline.com/health/skin-...

I had a similar prob. But had used Hydrocortisone cream. It cleared up after using Clotrimazole cream.

I have the canesten cream with 1% of Hydrocortisone and Clotrimazole. Is that okay to use?And how much times a day did you use it?

[AMR19 in reply to Itzme101]

No don't use hydrocortisone on ur face. It will make the problem worse. Use clotrimazole cream avail on Eb#y or Ama##n. Once a day after shower.

I went to my gp about the problem, and they prescribed me hydrocortisone cream 0.5%. Could you also link the clotrimazole cream you used and how long did it take to go away?

[AMR19 in reply to Itzme101]

Hydrocortisone cream won't work. Links won't post here. But look on E b a y around £1.50 per tube if u buy a few.

It took around 10 days of using clotrimazole cream up to twice a day to go away.
