how can that be reduced as it is spreading?
it is kenacort injection
Brief Answer:
Well does not seem to be due to kenacort
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your problem you didnt mention why you took this injection . Anyways it contains triamnicolone acetate which is a long acting steroid and it is unlikely to develop white patches after this injection . It is not a known side effect of this injection .
Kindly consult a skin specialist as this could be another disease and get yourself evaluated for vitiligo or some fungal infection.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
There is possibiilty of other disease also
Detailed Answer:
Dear madam,
There is a possibilty of fungal infection also . So, dont be scared . Without looking at lesions nothing can be said .
I dont know any skin specialist in hyderabad . Kindly show it to some good dermatologist as advised by your family doctor.
There is no identifying test for vitiligo . I will also advise you to get thyroid levels done as they may also lead to such problem.
Take care.
