General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Pityriasis versicolor is a common cause of white spots in the body. I would recommend you to have selenium sulfide daily in the affected areas for two weeks. It may take a while for the spots to go away even when the infection is treated as the sun is needed to tan the spots but there should not be new spots coming out.

If you notice new spots coming out or the spots are not fading after treatment and some sun exposure you will need a visit with your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
