White blotches on my face
I've noticed last week that i have these white blotches on my cheek. Today i noticed that i now have them on my forhead. I do suffer with both Lupus and HIV. Could these diseases cause the skin problem? Could it be something as simple as not taking vitamins, is it the sun? How do i get rid of them? Please help i love my face and i would like to get rid of these white blotches.
You can get a fungus from being in the sun too much. You see it a lot on more tanned people. You also see it a lot in kids who spend a lot of time in the pool (and sun). You can use a fungul cream like Tinactin. I think Monistat even has one out now. It will get rid of it in just a few days. This may not be what's causing your problem, but I'd at least give the cream a try.

Vitiligo is a disease characterized by loss of pigmentation. If you are darker skinned, it shows up more. You might google it and see if it looks like what you have going on.
