I've noticed a white substance forming on the shaft of my penis whenever I pull back the skin, and this has been happening for the last 6 months. Also, I've realized that the hair on my scrotum has turned yellow and become thicker. I suspect this could be trichomycosis pubis. Can someone help me figure out what's going on or suggest any solutions?

I've noticed a white patch on my back in the lumbar region for about six months now, and I didn't pay much attention to it until I saw that it's getting bigger. Now there's also a tiny patch on the right side of my abdomen. I went to see a dermatologist, and he mentioned it's vitiligo or leucoderma. My friends mentioned there's no treatment for this. Is that true? What should I do about it?

VitiligoLeucoderma can be distressing, but there are treatment options available. _Treatment Options_ 1. *Topical Corticosteroids*: Over-the-counter or prescription creams to reduce inflammation and slow the progression of the condition. 2. *Topical Immunomodulators*: Creams or ointments that modify the immune system's response to reduce inflammation. 3. *Phototherapy*: Exposure to specific wavelengths of light, such as narrowband UVB or PUVA, to stimulate repigmentation. 4. *Vitiligo Cover-up*: Camouflage techniques using makeup or self-tanning products to conceal the affected areas. _Surgical Options_ 1. *Skin Grafting*: Transferring healthy skin from one area to the affected area. 2. *Melanocyte Transplantation*: Transferring melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) from healthy skin to the affected area. _Alternative Therapies_ 1. *Ayurvedic Treatments*: Herbal remedies, such as turmeric, ginger, and neem, may help reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation. 2. *Homeopathic Treatments*: Remedies like arsenic album, calcarea carbonica, and sepia may help alleviate symptoms. _Lifestyle Changes_ 1. *Sun Protection*: Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to prevent further skin damage. 2. *Stress Management*: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 3. *Healthy Diet*: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

I've been using the Skin Lite cream for a couple of months, and now my skin's turned really reddish. I'm worried and not quite sure what to do next. Can you tell me if I'm using it wrong or if there's another cream I should be trying to fix this issue?
