  5. I have noticed a white patch on my face that looks like fungal growth, and the skin there feels rough compared to the surrounding area. I am worried whether it may spread further. I am using Ketofly soap to avoid this. Is it okay to continue, and will natural remedies like sandalwood or coconut oil help in clearing these white patches and preventing them from spreading?

A white patch on the face with a slightly rough surface is often related to mild fungal infection, dryness-related eczema, or a condition called pityriasis alba, which is common and usually harmless. It can look more visible after sun exposure or in people with sensitive skin. These patches may slowly spread or become more noticeable if the skin is dry or irritated, but in many cases, they improve gradually with proper care. Using an antifungal soap like Ketofly can help if the cause is fungal, but it should not be overused, as it may also dry the skin and make the patch look more obvious. Keeping the skin gently clean and well moisturised is more important than using strong soaps repeatedly. Natural remedies like coconut oil may help with dryness, but they can sometimes worsen fungal conditions in some people. Sandalwood may give a soothing effect, but it is not a confirmed treatment for the cause. It is better to be cautious with home remedies rather than relying on them alone. If the patch is increasing, spreading, or not improving in a few weeks, a dermatologist check is important to confirm the exact cause and start proper treatment early.
