Wiil Diprovate-RD really reduce white marks on face?
Patient: Age: 22, Height: 5.6, Weight : 56 Recently i got some white marks on my face which was termed as pitiryasis versicolor or teanea versicolor in medical sciences. the doctor prescribed me with Diprovate-Rd . Will it really reduce the mark? because i dint find any result after using that for 1 week. Doctor: Hello,I can understand your concern for the white marks on face.As per the doctor's diagnosis the condition of white marks is tinea versicolor also known as pityriasis versicolor.Basically tinea versicolor or pityriasis versicolor are fungal  infection caused by superficial fungus. It is common to find white colored branny spots over face or chest due to infection with this fungus.But it is also surprising that doctor has prescribed you a steroid based cream of Diprovate RD. It is a steroid and never use in case of tinea versicolor or pityriasis versicolor.In my cases of tinea versicolor I use an anti-fungal cream or if required an anti-fungal tablets. SO I suggest you to visit your doctor again and get either a proper diagnosis or a proper treatment.All the best.
