Hello dear. P.Alba is an inflammatory dermatosis and not any nutritional deficiency. People tend to think it's calcium deficiency which is not true. Continue with the medicines you are using.

Hello,
Pityriasis alba is a condition where hypopigmentation is due to nutritional deficiency and even it can be associated with atopic dermatitis.
Your treatment regime is perfect and I would suggest you to stick to the same just adding few supplements to correct the nutritional cause as well
It will take time for this patches to go
Results wo be visible after 2 months and please do not expect any miracle because it will take time
