I visited a doctor today for vitiligo treatment and they mentioned blister grafting works better on the lips while melanocyte transplantation is more suitable for other parts of the face. Is blister grafting really more successful for lip areas compared to other treatments?

Yes, suction blister grafting (SBG) is often considered a preferred treatment for lip vitiligo due to its effectiveness and ease of application in these areas. While melanocyte transplantation can be an option for other facial areas, SBG has shown to be particularly successful and convenient for lip vitiligo.

I'm 27 and dealing with severe male pattern baldness, and now I've got dandruff too. I'm wondering if I can use minoxidil 5% solution even though I have dandruff. I'm thinking of shaving my head and starting with a dandruff shampoo, and then maybe using minoxidil after a couple of weeks. But I'm worried about any severe side effects this solution might have on my body. Is it safe to use?

I've been dealing with a steatocystoma on my scrotum for the past two months and only found one so far. I'm really not comfortable with surgery can homeopathy help treat this without needing an operation? I'm pretty stressed about it and hoping for some guidance.
