A member asked:

My son is 7 . he got pytriasis alba on his face. what is the best treatment to remove white marks. as doctor told me to use locoid (hydrocortisone butyrate) crem for 10 days.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Creams: The patches will fade with time- several months. They will not tan either. Moisturizing cream and topical steroids as you mention can be used. You may also consult with a chinese medicine practitioner as they may have some herbal creams that help restore the pigment faster.
