Understanding Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a non-contagious skin condition characterized by loss of skin pigment. It does not affect overall health or physical capabilities.
Safety in Relationships
It is medically safe to marry someone with vitiligo. The condition poses no health risk to partners and does not impact the ability to maintain a healthy relationship.
Genetic Considerations
While vitiligo can have a genetic component, it does not guarantee that children will inherit the condition. Discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Reassurance
Vitiligo should not be a barrier to marriage. Focus on mutual understanding and support in the relationship.

I'm not overweight and I do exercises regularly, but I've got Acanthosis nigricans on my neck and some other parts of my body. It's really frustrating and I'm starting to feel a bit depressed about it. I feel like I'm perfectly fit, so I'm just confused why I'm dealing with this. Is there any way to get my normal skin back?

Acanthosis nigricans can sometimes occur in individuals who are not overweight and lead an active lifestyle. To help improve the appearance of Acanthosis nigricans, you can try using a topical cream containing 20% urea or 12% ammonium lactate. These creams can help exfoliate the affected areas and improve the skin texture. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and keeping your skin well moisturized can also help in reducing the appearance of Acanthosis nigricans.

I'm really curious about how safe biotin capsules are. Do they actually help with reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth? If they do, could you also guide me on how much I should be taking?

Biotin capsules are generally considered safe, with minimal side effects, and can help reduce hair fall and promote hair growth by strengthening hair follicles and increasing elasticity; recommended dosage varies from 2,500-10,000 mcg per day, but typical dosages for hair growth are 5,000-7,500 mcg per day, taken orally with food, and it's essential to consult a Dermatologist
