Question

I'm dealing with vitiligo, those safed daag, and I'm really worried. I've had it since 2004 and I'm 20 now. Is there any chance it can be cured?

Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment. While there is no known cure for vitiligo, there are treatment options available to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. Some common treatments include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream applied to the affected areas twice daily, phototherapy using UVB light, and calcineurin inhibitors like Tacrolimus ointment. It is important to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Question

I've been struggling with psoriasis for the past three years, and the scalp psoriasis is really getting to me. I've been using KZ shampoo, Flucort H, and Zydip lotion, but I'm not seeing much improvement. Are there any other treatments or advice you could suggest to help manage this? I'm starting to feel really frustrated with it all.

Question

I'm really concerned about my face turning darker and more oily since I moved to Bangalore. My skin used to be wheatish, but over the past 1.5 months, it has almost turned completely black. It's really upsetting because it's only affecting my face, and nothing I've tried, like washing or whitening creams, is making a difference. I usually just use mild soap and never really used facial creams for anything else. I'm not sure who to ask about this, even though I bumped into an Ayurveda doctor last week who noticed my skin change but didn't suggest anything to fix it. Any advice on what might be happening or how to get my skin color back would be really helpful.

Question

I'm currently on homeopathy treatment, but it's not working out for me. I tried allopathy treatment before too, but my pimples just won't go away. I'm feeling really scared and disappointed about this whole situation. What should I do? Can you help?
