White patch on skin

2017-11-26 18:41:52
I have been having a white dry patch on my face for a while now. Its not very evident but noticeable when looked at from a close distance . Also it feels rough and dry .It's not spreading nor has it gone away. Could this be some kind of a vitamin deficiency?
