Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal
The white patches on your face could be due to a condition called "hypopigmentation." Some creams with Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone might cause these patches. The first sign of this condition is usually a white spot on the skin. To help your skin heal naturally, it’s best to stop using these creams.

The white patches on your face look similar to a condition we call hypopigmentation. This sometimes happens when you use strong creams that have Hydroquinone + Tretinoin + Mometasone in them. These creams can make your skin lighter by doing so, and then white patches occur. For treatment, it is important to halt the use of the cream and allow your skin to restore its natural color. A visit to a dermatologist is the best way to get the right treatment.

The combination of hydroquinone, retinoid, and mometasone cream, often called Clubmen's formula, is used for hyperpigmented disorders like melasma. This medication is available over the counter under various brand names. It is the common side effect of the cream that it causes depigmentation or white patches, thinning of the skin, prominent blood vessels, acne, increased hair and also increased sensitivity to sun. Please do not use any such creams without consulting a dermatologist.
