Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Cause for white patches on face has to be evaluated and treated.
I would advice you to avoid frequent use of soap,allergic creams etc.
Cleanse your face daily,apply moisturizer.
Avoid oil based creams,soap etc.
Continue with the medicines or cream as per doctor's prescription.
Hope this helps.
