Idiopathic Guttate Hypomelanosis (IGH)

I have one little white spot on my right hand and same spot on my left leg. I consult a local dermatologist and he said it is IGH. I have attached the picture with this question, I just want to know if there is any medicine to remove this spot as he did not give any cream or any tablet.. Please help.
