I have a red rash all over my back and shoulders. They're super itchy and some are pretty painful. I've been trying Dermi Cool powder, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Can you help me out with this?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm really feeling overwhelmed because I've been dealing with Vitiligo for 12 years now, and nothing's working. I've tried homeopathy treatments but haven't seen any improvement. It's really frustrating. Is there something else I should be doing or a treatment that's better for managing this? I just want to understand my options and find something that might actually help.
Vitiligo can be challenging to cure, and homeopathy may not have been effective in your case; consider consulting a dermatologist to explore other treatment options, such as phototherapy (narrowband UVB), topical corticosteroids, immunomodulators, or skin grafting, which may help stabilize or repigment affected areas, and also discuss combination therapies and emerging treatments like JAK inhibitors.
