Dry white patches

2018-01-25 05:48:01
Hi, I have white dry patches on my face as seen in attached pic. Having this since almost a month now. Will it spread over my entire face? Is it okay to apply moisturizer? How can I make it less visible? Applying makeup makes it look more evident. Any natural remedies to remove it?

This is tinea versicolor. It is fungal infection. Will keep spreading on the whole face if not treated. Please contact using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice
