Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic.
White patch could be because of Vitiligo OR Pityriasis Alba.
If I was your treating doctor I would have asked you to use either a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone, twice daily for 2- 4 weeks OR you could also use a topical immunomodulator e.g tacrolimus ointment twice daily, for 4 weeks or so.
I would advice that you see a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as a prescription for these medicines
