White patches on face - what is it and how to treat it? (photo)

Asked By:ckinga in Atlanta, Georgia

I’ve had melasma on my forehead for years but recently have also seen a spread of these white patches. I’m noticing them in smaller quantities in other areas of my face and neck as well, but they’re most prominent on my forehead. Is this a specific type of melasma? Or could this be tinea versicolor?
