How Can Hypopigmentation At The Corners Of The Mouth Be Treated?

Hi doctor. I m a black teenage girl and I am losing colour at the corners of my mouth. My doctor has prescribed vitamin b co pills and an oral gel for a possible fungal infection. I am scared and I fear that I am going to lose all my melanin. Please tell me what is wrong with me. Will I regain my colour? Will it spread? Is it curable? How can I go about seeking treatment? Please help!
