Small white spot on ankel

2020-07-28 03:45:53
Hello all couple of days back I noticed a white apot on my left ankel. On consulting a dermatologist she said that it is just hypo pigmentation and prescribed melbid lotion. Earlier also some months back i noticed a white spot on hand and it was cured in a month on applying melbid lotion Just want to know whether it can be vitiligo or just a normal skin infection

There are lot many types of hypopigmentations. Yes we cannot dent the possibility of vitiligo. My suggestion will be to continue melbid. It takes time to get results on bony areas like ankle. So keep patience and continue with melbid.
