I'm noticing a small spot on my hand that's kind of a light pink or white color, definitely lighter than my skin. It's about 12mm and it's the only one I have on my whole body. I'm really curious if this could be vitiligo. Could that be possible?

I've got this dry, yellowish skin on my fingers, on both hands actually, and its been peeling with these painful bleeding cuts. It's been like this for the past two months and nothing seems to be helping, not even the ointments like Moisturex and Topisal that I've tried. It's really frustrating and uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and suggest what I can do about it?

I got bitten by a little leech a few weeks back and it bled for a short while, but then it stopped. Now I've got this small red bump there, and it's quite itchy. Any idea what I can do to fix this?

Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .
