I was diagnosed with tuberculosis last month, and since then, I've noticed that my skin color has turned darker. I used to have fair skin before. I'm really worried if this change will last or if my original complexion will return after I recover. Can you please let me know what to expect?

View allI've been dealing with psoriasis for almost 15 years now and have tried numerous medications, but I haven't had any luck in clearing it up. I'm really wondering if there's any proper and permanent treatment out there for this condition. Could you share any insights or advice?
while there's no definitive "cure" for psoriasis, various treatments can help manage and control symptoms; consider consulting a dermatologist about advanced therapies like biologics (e.g., etanercept, adalimumab), apremilast, or JAK inhibitors, which have shown significant efficacy in achieving and maintaining clearance, especially for moderate-to-severe cases

I'm wondering if there's a tablet that can help with skin whitening. Are there any side effects I should worry about while using it or even after? Could you give me some advice on this?
Certain tablets like Glutathione, Vitamin C, and Meladerm claim to promote skin whitening, but their effectiveness and safety vary, and potential side effects may include digestive issues, allergic reactions, and skin sensitivity, so consult a dermatologist before using any skin whitening tablets, as they can recommend safer and more effective alternatives, such as topical creams or professional treatments.

I'm really feeling overwhelmed because I've been dealing with Vitiligo for 12 years now, and nothing's working. I've tried homeopathy treatments but haven't seen any improvement. It's really frustrating. Is there something else I should be doing or a treatment that's better for managing this? I just want to understand my options and find something that might actually help.
Vitiligo can be challenging to cure, and homeopathy may not have been effective in your case; consider consulting a dermatologist to explore other treatment options, such as phototherapy (narrowband UVB), topical corticosteroids, immunomodulators, or skin grafting, which may help stabilize or repigment affected areas, and also discuss combination therapies and emerging treatments like JAK inhibitors.
