Can white patches on the stomach heal faster if they get proper air exposure or do they need surgery for permanent removal? I'm worried because mine aren't getting enough air and healing seems slow. Does surgery actually get rid of them for good?

White patches on the stomach can be caused by various factors, and proper air exposure may help some types heal faster, but it's not a guaranteed solution for all cases. While surgery can be an option for conditions like vitiligo, it's not a guaranteed permanent removal and may require further treatment,
