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 dandruff issue and my doctor initially recommended Topisal 6. However, when I went to the pharmacy, they didn't have it in stock, so they gave me Propysalic NF instead. I'm wondering if Propysalic NF works just as well as Topisal 6, or should I try to get back on Topisal 6? Would love to hear your thoughts on whether this switch might affect how effective it is for treating my dandruff.
Propysalic NF contains clobetasol propionate and salicylic acid, which are effective in treating dandruff. However, it may have a different potency compared to Topisal 6%, which contains clobetasol propionate only. Propysalic NF can be effective in treating dandruff, but if you are not seeing the desired results, you may consider switching back to Topisal 6% for better control of your dandruff. Follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for optimal results.

I have a cut on my left hand that's not too deep but has left a complete mark. What treatment options are there for it? Also, if I consider plastic surgery, how much would it cost to get rid of the scar?
For a superficial cut leaving a scar on your left hand, several treatment options can help minimize its appearance. Topical treatments like silicone gel or cream, pressure dressings, and even some natural remedies can be effective. If you are considering scar revision surgery, it can alter the appearance of the scar but may not completely remove it, and the cost can vary based on the complexity of the scar and the surgeon's fees

I'm dealing with psoriasis for the past two years, and it just doesn't seem to get better. I've tried different treatments, but nothing seems to work. I'm also losing a lot of hair, and my scalp has red patches. It's even affecting my nails now. Does it ever fully go away, or will I always have to manage it? Should I be watchful about my diet? What precautions should I be taking in my daily life to help manage these symptoms?
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that can be managed with proper treatment. To help control your symptoms, you can use topical treatments such as corticosteroids like Clobetasol (0.05%) cream for the affected skin areas. In severe cases, oral medications like Methotrexate or Acitretin may be prescribed. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and duration of these medications. For scalp psoriasis, you can use medicated shampoos containing coal tar, salicylic acid, or ketoconazole. Brands like T-Gel, T-Sal, or Nizoral can be effective in managing scalp psoriasis. To address hair fall associated with psoriasis, you can try using minoxidil solution like Rogaine to promote hair growth. Additionally, incorporating biotin supplements can also help in improving hair health. In terms of food control, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids can help in managing psoriasis symptoms. Avoiding trigger foods like red meat, dairy, and processed foods may also be beneficial. Precautions to take include avoiding skin injuries, managing stress levels, and protecting your skin from extreme weather conditions. Using a moisturizer regularly can also help in preventing flare-ups. It is important to note that psoriasis is a chronic condition that may require long-term management. The duration of treatment varies for each individual, so it is best to follow up with your healthcare provider for personalized care.
