In order to effectively cure your white spots, the first thing you should do is get them medically checked out. It is not sufficient to have heard from somewhere that they are harmless and then proceed to believe it. It is essential to know exactly what they are before you do anything about them. While it could be completely possible that they are completely harmless as you are saying, it is also possible that they are a start of some sort of major skin problem. The fact is that without a medical examination and proper diagnosis, you have no way of knowing what they are. You should preferably visit with a dermatologist who will be able to tell you accurately what the problem is. If, for some reason, you find that you are unable to visit with a doctor or a dermatologist, then you should start taking care of your problem by adopting several methods and seeing which one works for you. If you are troubled with white spots, then the best thing for you to do is start applying yogurt to it everyday. This will take care of any bacterial infection that you may be developing. Make sure the yogurt is fresh and unflavored, which is the only kind that will work properly for your problem.

You an also make a runny paste of sandalwood powder and rose water and apply this to your spots. Alternately, you could also apply a mix made with clarified butter or ghee and turmeric powder to the discolored part of your skin. This will also help to heal your skin, if there is a need for it. If you cannot find ghee, you can make your own by melting butter and boiling it till it clarifies. Make sure you use unsalted butter only. One of the best products to use for all kinds of skin ailments is cabbage. You can crush cabbage and make a pulpy mix out of it to apply to your spotted skin. This will help to heal as well as take care of the discoloration, or even any ridging or surface unevenness. Fuller's Earth is also an excellent product that can help to take care of surface problems related to the skin. You can make a mixture of water, Fuller's Earth and a few drops of lime juice. Apply and leave it on till it dries. Wash with water. If you are troubled with dry skin, add a teaspoon of olive oil for every four teaspoons of Fuller's Earth.
