Q: For the past two years, I have a lot of white spots on both my hands and leg. Wherever I sustain an injury, that part also becomes white. I consulted some skin specialist whos said that there is no reason for this. But they gave some cream to apply and multivitamin tablets. I am 31 years old. No bad habits. Married. I am scared that my entire skin may become white (Leucoderma). Is there any way to stop the spreading? Please let me know. Awaiting your reply.

A:The condition you described seems to be post-inflammatory hypopigmentation. There is nothing to worry with this. What I would like to know from you is whether any family member has leucoderma or not and also what diagnosis did the skin specialist make and what treatment was given?
