Cover white patches on skin: find the cause, then the cover
White patches can be vitiligo, a healed scar, post-inflammatory hypopigmentation or a mark after laser or peel. Covering them starts with knowing what you are covering.
See a clinician if patches are new
New, spreading or undiagnosed white patches need medical assessment. Cosmetic cover waits until you know the diagnosis.
Temporary cover
Camouflage makeup and self-tanner reduce contrast for hours or days. Technique tips overlap with how to cover vitiligo.
Real results and real moments
Longer colour match
Stable vitiligo patches and pale scars may suit pigment camouflage. Scar path: scar camouflage. Vitiligo path: vitiligo camouflage. After laser pale zones: hypopigmentation after laser or peel.
What cover cannot fix
Texture, active disease, and unstable pigment. Honesty first — then a colour test when appropriate.
