Question 1

I'm noticing some white patches on my fingers and I've had them for a couple of months now. They don't seem to be spreading, which is a bit of a relief, but its still worrying me. After visiting a doctor, he told me it's vitiligo, but I'm not completely convinced. He prescribed some medications like Viterma capsules, Dermadew cream, Tacmod forte, Melanocyl ointment, Placentrex gel, and HHSONE cream. I've attached a few pictures for reference. Does this sound like vitiligo to you, and do you think these meds can actually help with it?

Accepted Answer

Milia and molluscum are two distinct skin conditions that can be confusing to diagnose.

Milia

Milia, also known as milk spots or keratin cysts, are small, white or yellowish bumps on the skin. They occur when keratin, a protein, becomes trapped beneath the skin's surface.

Characteristics of milia:

- Small, usually 1-2 mm in diameter
- White or yellowish in color
- Firm to the touch
- Typically found on the face, especially around the eyes, nose, and mouth
- Can also occur on the arms, legs, and torso

Molluscum Contagiosum

Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV). It leads to the formation of small, flesh-colored or pink bumps on the skin.

Characteristics of molluscum contagiosum:

- Small, usually 2-5 mm in diameter
- Flesh-colored or pink in color
- Soft to the touch
- Typically found on the face, neck, arms, and legs
- Can be contagious through skin-to-skin contact or sharing personal items

Question 6

I'm really worried about the chemicals in the products I use these days. I'm currently using Himalaya Neem Men's Face Wash, but I'm looking for something healthier. Could you recommend a good face wash that doesnt have harsh chemicals?

Accepted Answer

I recommend trying the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. It is a soap-free cleanser that is gentle on the skin and does not contain any harsh chemicals. Use it twice a day, morning and evening, for best results.
