View allI'm dealing with vitiligo and my doctor suggested using Melback lotion, but I can't find it anywhere. I did come across Melgain at the drugstore though. Can I use Melgain as a substitute? What's the difference between Melback and Melgain, and how exactly does Melgain work? Would appreciate any advice on how to use it properly.

I've been using Getlite cream with hydroquinone and mometasone for the last two years. Now my skin's gone really white, but when I try to stop using the cream, my skin gets darker, even worse than before. Im worried its not good to keep using it long-term because of potential problems. I'm really hoping to stop using this cream. How can I wean off of it and keep my skin looking healthy without going back to how it was? A neighbor, who's a pharmacist, recommended it, but I'm not sure what to do. Any advice on maintaining my skins glow once I stop this cream?

I'm currently using Perfectil for skin, hair, and nails, as my dermatologist recommended. It's been about a month, and I've got really weak nails, some gaps in my eyebrows, and my skin isn't looking too healthy. Plus, my eyebrow color seems duller. I've been taking one tablet every morning, but I haven't seen any real changes yet. Can you suggest a better supplement than Perfectil?
