What Causes Discoloration Of Face?
hello, my 7 year old daughter has been treated for ringworm on theright side of her face with lotramin cream every day for about a month and a half, the discoloration is fading away but now she has 2 pea size spots on the left side of her face. should i use the lotramin for this as well or should i have her pediatrician check it first? Might you know why this discoloration is happening? we are of african-american decent.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Discoloration of skin is usual after ringworm and it fades away in due course.
Avoid exposure to sun light.
No need of applying any medicine.
As the boy is only 7 years there is every possibility that these ptches will fade away.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
