Brief Answer:
Chemical Leucoderma Or Vitiligo
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query.
Judging from the query and the treatment prescribed, I can make out that the dermatologist you visited made a possible diagnoses of either "Chemical Leucoderma Or Vitiligo".
For, "Chemical Leucoderma Or Vitiligo", just 1 month of treatment may not produce any significant results and I would suggest you to continue the treatment for another month or so for it to qualify to be an adequate trial. If it still does'nt show noticeable improvement other modalities can be considered.
I would be able to guide you better if you can upload an Image of the affected area which clearly shows the "light coloured spots".
Regards
