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.

I'm really worried about these freckles on my nose and cheeks. It seems like they're spreading now. I've had them since I was about 12 or 13, but I didn't think much of it back then. Now I'm just hoping to have clear skin. Can you help with what I should do?

I have a mole on my forehead that I've had since birth and I'm thinking about getting it removed. How much does the surgery usually cost and will there be a scar after? If it does leave a mark, how long until it fades? Are there any safe ways to remove it at home or is surgery the only option?

Mole removal costs ‚Çπ3,000‚Äì‚Çπ10,000; mild scar may remain and fade in months‚Äîhome removal isn‚Äôt safe.
