I'm dealing with 90% vitiligo and it seems like even a minute in the sun makes my skin turn red, itchy, and it feels like a sunburn. If my skin's wet, the sunburn gets really bad and blisters start forming. I'm worried about this and would love your advice on what medication I might need. What can I do to help with this?

View allI've been dealing with itchy patches around my vagina and the bend in my inner thigh for about a month now. They look like ringworms and itch really bad, but I haven't tried any medication yet. What do you think I should do?
You may have a fungal infection, such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help the medication work effectively. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
