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'm really worried because I recently moved to Hyderabad and my hair's been falling out a lot. I heard it's because the water in my apartment is really hard, from bore water. I put in a shower filter and used it once, but my hair is still falling out like crazy when I comb it. What else can I do to stop this or at least fix the damage? Can you help?

I've been struggling with really bad dandruff for a long time. I've seen multiple dermatologists, but every time I stop the treatment, it comes back within weeks. Is there any permanent fix for this, like a surgery or something? I'm tired of dealing with it over and over again.
While a permanent cure for dandruff is elusive, it's possible to effectively manage and control it with consistent treatment and lifestyle adjustments. There's no known surgical solution for dandruff, as it's a condition of the skin, not a structural issue. Instead, focus on managing the underlying causes and symptoms

I'm really concerned about the tip of my nose being red-pink and a bit swollen. There's no itching, but it's definitely painful when I touch it. It also looks like tiny pimples are forming on the swollen part. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that'll just clear up on its own?
The symptoms you are describing sound like you may have a localized skin infection on the tip of your nose. This could be due to a bacterial infection or inflammation of the hair follicles. To help treat this, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling. If the symptoms do not improve within a few days or if they worsen, it would be best to consult a doctor for further evaluation and possible prescription of oral antibiotics.
