I'm dealing with post-inflammatory hypopigmentation and was wondering if tacrolimus 0.1 is a safe option for treating it? I'm worried if it really helps with getting rid of the depigmented skin and if it's okay to use for conditions that aren't vitiligo. Any insights would be really appreciated!

Tacrolimus 0.1% ointment can be used to treat post inflammatory hypopigmentation. It helps to restore skin color by promoting melanin production. It is also safe to use in non-vitiligo conditions such as post inflammatory hypopigmentation. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer of tacrolimus ointment to the affected area twice daily.

I've noticed this bump on my skin after scratching it, and it's really irritating. I keep feeling the urge to scratch it more. Should I be concerned about this, or is it just something that'll go away on its own? Would love to know what might be causing it.
It's possible that the bump and irritation could be due to various reasons such as: - Insect bite or sting - Allergic reaction - Skin infection - Eczema or dermatitis - Keratosis pilaris To alleviate the discomfort, you can try: - Applying a cold compress to reduce itching - Using over-the-counter antihistamine cream or hydrocortisone cream - Taking an oral antihistamine - Avoiding scratching the area
