Hello,
Better to get assessed by your doctor and let them decide what is best for you. That hypopigmentation aka leukoderma has many etiologies from vitiligo to lichen plans and many other beyond the scope of this discussion.
A competent dermatologist will help you better in this regard. What you can do is get to them and do as directed and try not to self medicate or treat. You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
