thanks for asking via HCM,
No, if the lesion has subsided then no use of taking octamop tab.
once again No, because your lesion is not due to hypothyroidism. both are different and both are autoimmune disease so association of both disease is seen.
and now YES, you may get the white patch again as it presents with koebnarization( trauma site is prone for disease).
use emollient lotion on whole body twice daily. avoid scratching.
