I'm noticing some dark spots on my feet, and it's kind of worrying me. There's no itching or anything, but I'm really curious about what might be causing them. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Dark spots on the feet without itching could be due to a condition called hyperpigmentation. This can be caused by various factors such as friction, sun exposure, or even certain medical conditions. To help lighten the dark spots, you can try using a cream containing hydroquinone 4% along with glycolic acid. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas once daily in the evening. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to prevent further darkening of the spots.

What gets rid of a rash overnight?
We need to determine the cause of rash and then treat accordingly. If you get a red rash with itching , it may be mostly due to an allergy which can be relieved by applying Moisturiser, wet cloth or ice pack to the affected area. You may need to take some antihistamine medications too under doctor's supervision.

I just drank milk mixed with onions by mistake, and I'm really worried now. Is there any chance that this could lead to vitiligo? Also, while we're at it, does vitiligo have any treatment options that actually work?
Accidentally drinking milk with onions will not cause vitiligo on your skin. Vitiligo is a skin condition where patches of skin lose their pigment. There is no known cure for vitiligo, but treatment options such as topical corticosteroids, phototherapy, and skin grafting may help improve the appearance of the skin. If you suspect you have vitiligo, it is best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management.
