I'm 24 and pretty lean at just 46 kg, but I've got multiple lipomas. I'm thinking about taking a protein supplement to help gain some weight, but I'm worried about how it might affect the lipomas. Could it cause more of them to develop or make the existing ones worse? Anything I should be aware of before starting on a protein supplement?

View allI've been using Flutivate ointment for the past month as my doctor recommended. I've noticed some changes in my skin, and I'm a bit concerned about whether this is normal or if I should be worried. Should I keep using it, or is there something else I need to watch out for while continuing with this treatment?

I'm really worried about my brother's hair loss problem. He's tried so many medicines but hasn't seen any results yet. He recently stumbled across this product called Reffolium online, and we're wondering if it's actually effective for hair loss or just another scam. Also, we're considering options like hair transplant or weaving. I'm curious if hair transplants are safe or if there are any side effects he should be aware of. If he goes down this path, do you have any recommendations for a specialist he should consult?
Refolium would work in nourishing and giving strength to hair,this will help in hair fall upto some extent,balanced diet and good rest is the mainstay, regarding hair transplantation visit Dermatologist for appropriate approach.

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.
