White Patch on both side of my face.
Firstly, I had a small white patch on left side of my face. I was treating it for last 3yrs but it was not getting cured. Medications used: Terbinaforce & Terbest capsule. After that, 6months before I went for a trip to Brazil and my skin got exposed to sun for a day for about 8 hours. After, I returned to my hotel I found both side of my face is having large white patch. No itching, no flaking. The doctor prescribed me: Tacoma(0.03) and there after, Pacroma and to have a medicine called Cutiesmile but for last 6 months the patches have not cured and is still there. The dermatologists I visited to are all very renowned dermatologists of Kolkata. Kindly help because it is hampering my self-confidence and making me feel extremely dejected.

Thanks for the query.
This could be related to a skin disease called Vitiligo. It is easily diagnosed by a dermatologist and if needed a blue light (Wood's lamp) examination is used to understand it better. Kindly consult a skin specialist. Other skin conditions and close mimickers can rarely confuse a diagnosis of Vitiligo.
Next Steps
Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
