I've had these white spots for about 6 years now. Some people have mentioned it might be vitiligo. Is there any way to cure it? The patches are mostly between my inner thighs and around my mouth. Can you help me understand what this could be?

Question

My wife's hair is falling out really fast, and I'm getting pretty worried. She had typhoid back in MayI'm not sure if that could be linked to her hair loss? A doctor told us to try a sulphate-free shampoo, but it doesn't seem to be making any difference. Any idea what we should do next?

Question

I've noticed a big rash on the side of my neck, and I'm worried it might be caused by lizard urine getting on my skin. It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could this really be the cause, and what should I do to treat it?

Question

I've just finished a treatment for lichen planus, and the bumps and itching have stopped, thankfully. However, the marks are still visible, and I really want them gone quicker if possible. The dermatologist mentioned they'd fade over time, but is there anything I can do to speed up the process and get rid of these marks in a few months to a year?
