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.

I got the chickenpox virus back in 2016, and since then, I've been using Dermadew Lite soap. I'm kind of worried about whether it's okay to use it every day. I'm just curious if using it regularly is safe or if there are any side effects I should know about. It only seems to be available at pharmacies, so it feels like a medicated soap. Could you give me some advice on whether I should keep using it or not?

I've been dealing with some swelling on my face for the last 23 years, and it's really changed how I look. I'm not really sure why this is happening. What kind of doctor should I see for something like this, and what could be causing it?
Facial swelling can be caused by various reasons such as allergies, infections, hormonal imbalances, or underlying medical conditions. To determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment, you should consult a Dermatologist. They specialize in diagnosing and treating skin conditions, including facial swelling. In the meantime, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) to help reduce swelling caused by allergies.
