Good Morning, I am 71 years of age and have been taking Alendronic & calichew tablets for a approx. 4 years. I have developed little white spots all over my face. Is this due to the calcium intake? I also use a becotide inhaler morning and evening.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be easy for me if you attach a picture of the lesion. The most probable differential will be something called liver spots which is quite common in elderly and it is age related and no treatment is required. However we have to rule out conditions like vitiligo before confirming the diagnosis. You can attach a picture in the follow up query.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
