Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Small white spots with no associated symptoms may be due to vitiligo.

Vitiligo is a auto immune condition resulting due to loss of melanocytes. Phototherapy has been considered as treatment here. Few other medical preparations(prescription medications) such as steroid creams are also useful in the treatment of vitiligo.

I suggest you to consult a dermatologist. Treatment can be initiated under guidance of a competent dermatologist.

Hope I answered your query. If you have any more queries, I will be available for follow ups.

Wishing you good health.

Regards,

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
