For the treatment of vitiligo and fast removal of symptoms, you can consider using a combination of topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream along with calcineurin inhibitors such as Tacrolimus ointment. These medications can help to repigment the affected areas of the skin. Additionally, phototherapy with narrowband UVB or excimer laser can also be beneficial in treating vitiligo. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management plan.

I'm really worried about my friend who's got genital herpes on his foreskin. It's weird though because he's not feeling any pain or itching at all. Is genital herpes something that happens a lot?

Accepted Answer

Genital herpes, caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), is not curable, but it's manageable with antiviral medications, and while it's often associated with painful blisters, some people, like your friend, may experience mild or asymptomatic outbreaks; genital herpes is relatively common, affecting an estimated 3.7 billion people worldwide, and it's highly contagious, so it's essential for your friend to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis, treatment, and guidance on preventing transmission.
