I used Panderm Plus cream on my face but stopped recently, and now my skin has turned black with pimples and dark spots appearing. It gets worse when I'm in the sun. What can I do to help my skin recover?

View allI'm currently using Melgain Lotion at night and Pacroma Cream in the morning for my vitiligo, but I haven't seen any improvement in the pigmentation. I'm a bit worried and wondering if this is the right treatment plan. Is there something else I should be doing?
Vitiligo can be challenging to treat, and it's great that you're seeking a second opinion. Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream 1. Melgain Lotion: Contains a combination of melatonin, vitamins, and antioxidants, which may help promote repigmentation. 2. Pacroma Cream: Contains pimecrolimus, a topical immunomodulator that may help reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation. Evaluating the Treatment While Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream may be beneficial for vitiligo, it's essential to consider the following: 1. Treatment duration: Have you been using these creams for a sufficient amount of time (at least 3-6 months)? 2. Consistency and application: Are you applying the creams consistently, as directed, and covering the entire affected area? 3. Combination therapy: Have you considered combining these creams with other treatments, such as phototherapy, corticosteroids, or vitamin supplements? 4. Underlying causes: Are there any underlying causes or triggers for your vitiligo, such as autoimmune disorders, stress, or hormonal imbalances? Alternative Treatment Options If you're not seeing any improvement with Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream, consider discussing the following options with your doctor: 1. Phototherapy: Exposure to specific wavelengths of light, such as narrowband UVB or PUVA, can help stimulate repigmentation. 2. Corticosteroids: Topical or oral corticosteroids can help reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation. 3. Vitamin supplements: Certain vitamins, such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, or antioxidants, may help promote repigmentation. 4. Immunomodulatory therapies: Medications that modify the immune system's response, such as tacrolimus or pimecrolimus, may help promote repigmentation.

I'm dealing with hair loss and a bit of baldness, and I read somewhere that glutathione might help. Can you tell me if it's effective for this issue? Just want to know if it's worth trying out.
Glutathione is an antioxidant that is naturally produced in the body. While there is some anecdotal evidence suggesting that glutathione may have benefits for hair health, there is limited scientific research to support its effectiveness specifically for hair loss and baldness. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on managing hair loss and baldness.

I'm really worried because I've had ringworm near my private area for the past three months. I was using a cream on it and covering it with cotton, but it started spreading to nearby areas. The thing is, I just found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I'm really anxious because I was using the cream until yesterday. Could this have harmed my baby in any way? I'd appreciate any advice or insight you might have.
