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 allHey, I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism recently, and my TSH levels are pretty high, but my T3 and T4 are normal. I'm thinking about trying PRP treatment for my hair loss. Do you think my high TSH could make PRP a bad idea?

I've noticed a bruise on my thigh, and it's been there for about four days without fading. It's round and has this blue-violet color around the outside but the center is just normal skin, kind of white. I'm starting to get worried. What could this mean?
The bruise you are describing with a blue-violet color on the outside and white in the center is likely a hematoma. To help with the healing process and reduce the discoloration, you can apply a topical arnica gel or cream to the bruise area. Additionally, taking oral arnica tablets can also help with bruise healing. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the product packaging. If the bruise persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I recently had my first session of fractional CO2 laser treatment, and about 20 days later, I had to spend some time outside in the sun for work. I did use sunscreen, but my skin still seems to have been affected. It's red and feels really tight. I'm kind of worried and wondering if I should use Fucidin cream now. Is the damage permanent, or can it be fixed? Would really appreciate some advice.
Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .
