I have white patches on my forehead and feet and I'm currently using a UVB lamp for PUVA treatment at home. How long will it take to see improvement in my vitiligo and will these white marks fade completely? Are there any surgical options to treat vitiligo and are they completely safe?

View allI've been using Minoxidil for about three weeks now, as my dermatologist suggested it. But after reading about the side effects and realizing that I might have to continue using it for life, I'm starting to have second thoughts. I'm really hoping to improve my hair health by changing my lifestyle and managing my stress levels instead of relying on medications like this. Could you guide me on how to safely stop using Minoxidil without causing too much hair loss? Should I be gradually reducing it from twice a day to once a day, then maybe every other day, or is there another method youd recommend? Also, if you could give me some advice on foods that are good for hair health and ways to have a healthy lifestyle, I'd really appreciate it.
Minoidil works better for hair fall and when you are satisfied with your hair you can wheen it off,also consume protien and vitamin rich food for better results

I'm wondering if I can use tretinoin every night and then salicylic acid in the morning to help with pimples, scars, and maybe even for anti-aging benefits. Is this a good routine, or should I be concerned about any potential issues with this combination?
No.. treatment depends on the grade...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne

I'm dealing with this really itchy allergy on my neck and inside my elbows. It's been four days now. I've been taking polaramine for three days and using soframycin, like I usually do since I often have skin allergies. But this time, it doesn't seem to be getting better. I'm getting quite worried. Could there be something else I should try or maybe there's something I'm missing here? Would appreciate any advice you have.
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.
