Have Vitiligo, Depigmentation Patches On Groin, Roughness, No Itching. Treatment?
Question? I have vitiligo and noticed that the depigmented patches around the groin area currently feeling a little rough so when I looked it like I have dry white covering.... Is this a fungus?? It does not itch... How should I care for the area? I have an appt with the gyn in a week but I hate to wait it this is something needing treatment .... Thank you for your time and advice
Hi dry rough patches on the vitiligo patches are only due to winter xerosis or sometimes due to drugs used for vitiligo.but not due to fungus as the patches are nonitchy.just apply moisteriser for 2-3 times daily to decrease the roughness even after it roughness appears. steriod cream can be applied daily to decrease it
