Brief Answer:
Vitiligo skin ,needs regular treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
You seem to have developed a patch of loss of pigment called vitiligo.
Apply a topical steroid cream like fluticasone over the lesion twice daily.
If possible ,try to expose the area to sunlight for ten minutes daily by privately sitting in any such area of the room where there is adequate sunlight .
It will help in quickly restoring the skin color .
Remember that regaining the skin color is a long process and needs regular treatment ,so try to see a local dermatologist for regular follow ups.
