Hello,
Thank you for posting your question to HCM
This is Dr. Papaqako answering your question.

Dezor cream, which has the medicine of ketoconazole, is used for some diagnoses as Pityriasis versicolor, yeast infection or cutaneous candidiasis, tinea cruris, tinea corporis, so in general fungal infections.
All the above mentioned have a reddish/brown color that may be perceived as pigmentation. The fact that is working on your lesion of pigmentation, means that it is the right medicine. Use it twice/day for at least 2 weeks, or until the pigmentation heals.
If you still have it after, then you should see your doctor again so he can review the treatment.

Hope this helps.
If anything unclear, please feel free to ask.
Regards.
