Is Flutibact Effective In Treating Dry White Patch On Skin?

Hi, I have white patch (dry white skin)on my upper right lip angle and above right eye ,below eyebrow .I thas been there off an on many years .Around 7-8 years.I used to apply Gentopic and Dipsalic cream mixture before and used to work well. Now one of the cream is not available in the market .I visited dermatologist and he told me to apply flutibact cream along with 2 tablets .Is flutibact more effective? It has been tested that the white dryness is not fungal infection.Is it bacteria? How to avoid such kind of skin infection in future.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dry white patch on skin which seems to be due to eczema , allergic reaction , fungal infection and vitiligo. Flutibact cream as suggested to you by doctor is good and effective. To avoid such type of infection in future i would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper evaluation . Doctor will examine physically , may order skin test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antifungal medicine fluconazole , corticosteroid ointment or laser therapy . For now avoid contact with dirt and detergents , wash your hands with cold water and take benadryl .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
