I recently had a mole removed using a blade, and they stopped the bleeding with heat. Now I've noticed there's a small crater where the mole was. I'm keeping it clean with soap and water, applying the ointment my doctor recommended, and covering it with a bandage. I'm just a bit worried thoughwill this crater eventually fill in as everything heals?

How long does it usually take for vitiligo to spread? I've had these spots on my neck, leg, and hand for about four years now, and they haven't really changed in size. Should I be worried about them getting bigger or appearing in new places?

The spread of vitiligo varies from person to person. In some cases, the patches may remain stable in size and number for years, while in other cases, they may spread rapidly. Since you have had the spots for 4 years with the same size, it is possible that the condition may remain stable for you. To help prevent further spread of vitiligo, you can consider using topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas. Apply a thin layer of the cream twice daily for a few months to see improvement. Additionally, phototherapy with narrowband UVB light can also be beneficial in managing vitiligo. Remember to protect your skin from sun exposure as it can worsen the condition. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on the affected areas when going outside.

I'm dealing with a pretty bad itching all over my body, and it's bothering me quite a bit. A few years ago, I experienced something similar, and it turned out to be scabies. Could this be the same issue again, or is it something else? What should I do about it?

That could be Fungal infection, maintain personal hygiene and visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm experiencing a lot of hair fall and breakouts now that I'm married, and I think it might be because of the change in water. Could there be some hormonal imbalances at play here? It's really concerning as my skin and hair were really healthy before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
