Hello.
It is not necessary that the white spot on your face is leukoderma (vitiligo). It could be P.alba, P.versicolor, localised hypomelanosis secondary to application of steroids or 'fairness' creams.
In vitiligo, the white spot is milky white and has well-defined borders.
I suggest you to apply VENUSIA CREAM twice a day for 1 month.

hello,
welcome to healthcare magic.
i will be glad to be of assistance.
first of all, it has to be determined what is the white spot due to.
whether its a condition that will respond to puva.
and a month will be a short period, its difficult to say whether our skin will respond completely to puva.
it depends on the improvement.
there are other treatments for white spots depending on the diagnosis, you could try these.
regards
