Dear E.Abdeen

The type of treatment you are receiving is what is called symptomatic treatment, first you need to get a definite diagnosis of the cause of these spots and this can be acheived by taking a skin biopsy from the site of the spot and to get a conclusive diagnosis from the histopathlogical report then the treatment will depend on the the definitive cause
