What Causes White Spot On The Left Side Of Mouth?
Question: There is a white spot on the side of my mouth which recently developed a week back after I had a ligament rupture and starting taking calcium supplements. Do you think that is the reason for this? Please see attached picture
Brief Answer:
pityriasis alba; moisturiser and pimecrolimus cream
Detailed Answer:
hello. i have reviewed the images.
i can see ill defined hypopivmented spot on left side of angle of mouth.
it is piyriasis XXXXXXX which is due to post inflammatory hypopigmentation and is more common in those who have dry skin.
i suggest you to use a moisturiser for face, twice daily. specifically for the spot you may use pimecrolimus 1% cream (elidel cream) twice daily after using moisturiser.
