I'm diagnosed with vitiligo and have been undergoing treatment for close to five years now, using medications like melanocyl and aprezo. I'm just wondering if that's a typical duration for such treatments. Is there anything else I should be doing to see better results or maybe even faster progress? It's been quite a journey and I'd love some clarity on what to expect moving forward.

View allI've noticed that my face used to be quite fair, but now it's gradually getting darker. It's really worrying me and I'm not sure what to do. Can you suggest any medical treatments or advice for why my face keeps getting darker day by day?
A darkening face can be caused by various factors, including hormonal changes, sun exposure, or skin conditions like melasma; to address this issue, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice, and potential medical treatments may include topical creams or serums containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or vitamin C to help lighten and even out your skin tone, as well as sun protection measures like broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and a hat to prevent further darkening.

Can I use Indulekha hair oil even though I'm only 16? My hair used to be thick and bouncy, but now it's really thin and seems to be falling out a lot. I'm worried and not sure what to do. Do you think this hair oil would help, or is it not suitable for someone my age?
Yes, you can use Indulekha Hair Oil at the age of 16. It is safe for use in individuals below 18 years of age.

I've been dealing with keloid scars on my chest and shoulder that keep getting bigger and itch a lot. It seems to run in my family since my grandfather, father, and uncle all had them too. My uncle tried steroid injections and surgery but had bad results are there other treatment options that might work better for me?
Keloids are a challenging type of scar that can persist and grow larger, often causing discomfort. While steroid injections and surgery can be used, they may not always be effective or may have side effects. Here's a look at alternative treatment options that may be more suitable for your case
