Brief Answer:
Nothing to be worried about,will improve slowly

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

I have seen the attached pictures .
You seem to have developed light or hypo pigmented patches over the face due to over application of skinlite cream .
This is surely not vitiligo and is nothing really to be very worried about .
Just stop application of skinlite for the time being.
Take oral vitamin c supplements .
Normal skin colour will return to the lighter areas in few weeks .

Hope it helps

I consult a dermatologist. He said it is an infection and prescribed ointment tacroz. Is tacroz is used for vitiligo patients.

Brief Answer:
Not an infection ,so don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

You have been very rightly prescribed by your treating doctor .
You basically do not have vitiligo or any infection.
Tacroz is an immuno modulator and will slowly help in regaining the normal skin colour .
