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?

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.

I'm dealing with this ringworm issue on my testicles and the area around them for the past 5-6 years, and even though I've used many antifungal creams recommended by doctors, nothing seems to work. It's especially bad when I sweat a lot in the summer, and the itching gets unbearable. Do you have any advice on how I can permanently get rid of this? Any help would be really appreciated.
