Burning Sensation And Dry Skin On Forehead. Took Treatment For Fungal Infection And Sunburns. Keeps Happening. Why?

I have got stretch marks on my knees, thighs and lower abdominal part. Please help me with solution.
Thanks for your query.
I will be in a better position to answer your questions if you can please send me a couple of photographs of the affected area.
Based on the information given, the possibilities are:
1. If the patch you developed sometime back was really a fungal infection, then this hypopigmented patch might be post inflammatory hypopigmentation.
2. Burning sensation on hands and feet can be just due to dryness which leads to exfoliation of skin and itching. This is common during season changes.
A topical cream containing paraffin and urea can do wonders in such cases. Do not use soaps that make skin dry and avoid excess of soap and water. And if the condition persists topical steroid cream can be used.
3. Stretch marks occur due to rapid loss of weight. One should avoid crash dieting, weight loss must be gradual and creams like "Elastoderm" and “Evion" in tandem can be used for decreasing the same. These creams should be used over months to get a good result.
Hope you got answers to all your questions. Please upload the pictures using the option available on this webpage. I will be able to specify my suggestion after receiving a good picture from your end.

Thanks for reverting.
Avoid excessive exposure to sun and working with soaps and water. Repeated friction and excessive use of soap and water in the exposed areas can lead to this.
I hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer if you have no further queries.

The lesions in the picture are nowhere near vitiligo and are nothing serious.
You can apply moisturiser and in cases itching occurs; a mild topical steroid can be added. The condition will improve slowly with time.
Just avoid rubbing and keep the area dry.
