Hi, around 8 months ago in the summer I developed white blotches on my forehead that were not tanning and fairly prominent, they were completely smooth, my gp said it was tinear Versicolor and gave me some nitrozil shampoo which I used until it had finished. I then went on a hot holiday and the white blotches didn’t tan, around the blotches freckles appeared but not on the patches. The dr said it can take sometime for the patches to go away, I’ve therefore continued with some more shampoo and used natural treatments like lemon juice, Coconut oil and sodium bicarbonate, the weather is improving and again 8 months on the patches aren’t tanning or freckles coming back. Does anyone have any further advice?
