I've recently noticed some white patches on my bum, just below the waist area. I'm 21 years old and I'm a bit concerned about what this could be. Is it something I should be worried about? What could be causing this, and should I see a doctor?

I'm really concerned about this redness I'm experiencing around my thigh joint. I've been using propysalic NF ointment for itching and to get rid of some scars, but now my skin tone seems different. Should I continue using the same ointment or try something else? I'm just a bit worried about my skin changing and could use some guidance.
