Hi my daughter age 12 has developed one small white patch on face which usually is seen in winter. Earlier last year dermatologist had given a tube which I don't recall to apply. Can I use tacrolimius ointment not sure if this was the one also I was told to use citaphel facewash and motiriser. Not able to find old prescription. Kindly suggest what do I use thanks ashmita
