i am in Belgaum, house wife of 40 yrs. I am taking Montek LC for allergic bronchitis from few years. Now i am observing white patches, like lack of melanin, on some places on leg and foot. I also have border line dibeties. I take Glycomet 500 daily once. Please let me know if these medications are any way causing the white patches.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You might be having Vitiligo. Anti diabetic medications usually do not cause diabetes. Vitiligo can be treated with Melgain solution and tacrolimus ointment. Please do consult your dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and to discuss treatment options.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
