I have other white spots in the arm pit area, sides of my hips, shines of me legs, under part of my forearms. I have no insurance, is there any thing I can do on my own to help the situation?

Hello,
It is the due loss of melanin. Nothing much to worry and the skin will return to normal shade in a few weeks. If the healing is delayed you can consult a dermatologist for expert opinion.

Take care
