White skin under my right sideburn
Hi Doc
Since last 6 months I have been seeing the white skin growing slowly under my right sideburn. It was small before but recently it has become big.
Currently I notice the same in my left side burn but that is small. It is sometimes itchy and flaky. It looks very bad as it is different from my original skin colour.
I used aloe Vera gel for few days but that is not working it seems. Please advise what should we do? If I need to consult a doctor or any home remedies can do the job? PFA the picture .thank you
