I've noticed some white spots on my face and I'm wondering if it's something beyond calcium deficiency, which I know I have. These spots are a little visible right now, but I'm worried they might get worse over time. What could be causing them and how can I treat them?

I'm having trouble finding Dipsalic F ointment at medical stores since they said it's not being made anymore. I've been using it for an allergic reaction, and nothing else I've tried is as effective. Can you suggest the best substitute for this ointment? I'm really concerned about finding something that works as well.

Since Dipsalic F ointment is unavailable, I'll suggest some alternatives with similar ingredients: *Alternatives with Salicylic Acid and Urea* 1. *Ursal 10% Ointment*: Contains urea (10%) and salicylic acid (3%). 2. *Keralyt 5% Gel*: Has salicylic acid (5%) and urea (10%). 3. *Salex 6% Cream*: Contains salicylic acid (6%) and might be suitable for allergic areas. *Other Options* 1. *CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser*: A gentle cleanser with salicylic acid (2%) and hyaluronic acid. 2. *Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream*: A rich moisturizer with urea (10%) and ceramides

I'm curious about the lotion's effects. I've heard that if you start using it, you have to keep going, or you might lose more hair. Is that actually true? Are there any side effects I should be worried about if I decide to stop using it?
