Light patches on my face

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?

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

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?

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.
