What Causes White Spots On The Hands?
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that I had a some white spots on the back of my left hand, now i have them on my right hand also. I have a similar spot on the top of my head, I am balding. I always wear a hat and apply sunscreen when I go outside. Sometimes the back of my hands itch. Is there an over the counter cure?

Hello,
It seems like you have vitiligo which is a disease that causes the loss of skin color in blotches. The extent and rate of color loss from vitiligo is unpredictable. It can affect the skin on any part of your body. It may also affect hair and the inside of the mouth.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
