White Patch Between Eyebrows. Confusion Whether Disease Is Vitiligo Or Ecxema
I have developed white patch in between my eyebrows and 2 more patches on my forehead. It is not milky white in color. I have shown it to a dermatologist . She says it may be Vitiligo. She has not checked under woods lamp or light. How can it be confirmed ?
I have checked with a homeo doc. He says it seems to be ecexema. It is due to excessive sweating during humid months

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Without an opportunity to closely examine the lesion, I would not be able to accurately specify the condition. You can upload a photograph by asking me a direct query by clicking on this link http://bit.ly/dr-j-chacko . I will be able to help you.
Otherwise you need to consult another dermatologist with wood's lamp.
Hope this helped,
Take care
