I'm dealing with vitiligo, those safed daag, and I'm really worried. I've had it since 2004 and I'm 20 now. Is there any chance it can be cured?

Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment. While there is no known cure for vitiligo, there are treatment options available to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. Some common treatments include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream applied to the affected areas twice daily, phototherapy using UVB light, and calcineurin inhibitors like Tacrolimus ointment. It is important to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

View allI recently got a facial where the beautician used an O3 plus peel-off mask on my face. Now, I'm breaking out with acne. I'm curious if this mask is considered a mild or deep peel? The ingredients listed are Alginic acid, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Calcium sulphate, Magnesium carbonate, Lavender extract, Di sodium phosphate, Lavender oil, and some perfume. Could any of these be causing my skin to react like this? I'd appreciate any advice on what might be happening with my skin.
The O3 plus peel off mask is considered a mild peel. It contains ingredients like Alginic acid, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Calcium sulfate, magnesium carbonate, lavender extract, Di sodium phosphate, lavender oil, and perfume. To treat the acne developed after the facial, you can use a gentle cleanser containing Salicylic acid to help unclog pores and reduce inflammation. You can also apply a topical treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide to target the acne directly. Remember to moisturize your skin with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness.

I'm really concerned about my hair loss and heard that hijama wet cupping might help remove DHT from the scalp. Could this actually work for hair loss? Would love to know if it's a viable option or just a myth.
Hijama (wet cupping) has limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness in removing DHT from the scalp or curing hair loss, and its benefits are largely anecdotal,

I'm 21 and I'm noticing my hairline is receding a lot, like almost half of my hair is missing. I'm thinking about getting a hair transplant, but I'm not sure if it's the right move. Is it really worth it, and what are the upsides and downsides of doing it? Also, do you know of any reputable clinics where I could get a hair transplant done?
