I just drank milk mixed with onions by mistake, and I'm really worried now. Is there any chance that this could lead to vitiligo? Also, while we're at it, does vitiligo have any treatment options that actually work?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Accidentally drinking milk with onions will not cause vitiligo on your skin. Vitiligo is a skin condition where patches of skin lose their pigment. There is no known cure for vitiligo, but treatment options such as topical corticosteroids, phototherapy, and skin grafting may help improve the appearance of the skin. If you suspect you have vitiligo, it is best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management.

View allI've been dealing with a fungal infection on my penis for a few months now. I saw my GP and they gave me Daktarin cream, which really helped with the symptoms. But now I've run out and I'm noticing the dry skin coming back. I got prescribed Daktacort cream this time, but it says not to use it on the genital area. Is it actually safe to use there? Also, since it's just mild dry skin at this point, could using shea butter as a moisturizer be a good idea?
Daktacort cream contains an antifungal (miconazole) and a mild corticosteroid (hydrocortisone) which can be effective for fungal infections. However, it is not recommended for use on the genital region due to the presence of the corticosteroid which can cause thinning of the skin in that area. It is best to consult your healthcare provider for an alternative treatment for your genital fungal infection. As for using shea butter as a moisturizer for mild dry skin, it can be a good option as shea butter is known for its moisturizing properties.
