I have white patches on my face which has been increasing in spurts after a few months since the last 10 years. I have been told it is liver related. I have tried several treatments but nothing seems to cure it. Please let me know how is the liver related ti the white spots on my face and how can it be cured. Also how long will it take to get cured completely?
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic
I will keep a possibility of Pityriasis alba. First of all, I would like to assure you that Pityriasis Alba is not a serious condition at all neither it is related to liver abnormalities. These are light colored patches (lighter than the surrounding skin); they can be somewhat scaly as well, the light color being actually due to post-inflammatory hypopigmentation The patches are common on dry skin. I usually recommend using a good moisturizer, twice daily. You can also use an OTC topical steroid e.g 1% Hydrocortisone twice daily for the patches, over and above the moisturizer. That should make the patches fade away in 2-3 weeks.
Regards
