I'm really concerned about this urticaria I'm experiencing. Is there a specific skin or blood test that can help determine what's causing it, or is finding the root cause not really possible through tests?

View allI'm really worried about a condition my nephew has. He's 8 years old and has been dealing with white spots on his skin that seem to be spreading. They started on his feet, then moved to his knees, and now theyre all over his body. We've been taking him to a dermatologist, but I'm anxious to know if there's a chance of this being cured completely, or if it's something that will last a lifetime. Can you shed some light on this?
Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition where white patches develop on the skin due to a lack of melanin. While there is no definitive cure for vitiligo, treatment options are available to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. One common treatment is the use of topical corticosteroids, such as Clobetasol cream, applied to the affected areas to help repigment the skin. Another option is phototherapy, which involves exposing the skin to UV light to stimulate melanin production. In more severe cases, oral medications like Methoxsalen may be prescribed to help repigment the skin.

I'm using acne UV gel in the morning and the Beneria Expert Skin Brightening gel before bed. I've been dealing with pimples and I'm considering adding Deriva CMS gel to my routine. I'm also thinking of using a moisturizer in the morning. Could you let me know the best time and way to use all these products together? I'm just not sure how to fit everything in!
Based on your current skincare routine, you can incorporate Deriva CMS gel ointment for your pimples. You can apply a thin layer of Deriva CMS gel ointment on the affected areas in the evening, after cleansing your face. Make sure to avoid the eye area and any broken skin. In the morning, after using your acne UV gel, you can apply a moisturizer suitable for acne-prone skin. This will help keep your skin hydrated without clogging your pores. Remember to always patch test new products before applying them to your entire face to check for any adverse reactions

I'm noticing this rash on my nose that seems to have a butterfly shape. Which specialist should I see firstsomeone who deals with skin issues or maybe an ENT specialist?
Start with a dermatologist (skin specialist), as a butterfly-shaped rash on the nose is often indicative of lupus or rosacea, which are skin conditions that can be diagnosed and treated by a dermatologist.
