I'm really concerned because my son was just diagnosed with pre vitiligo and has this peri patch near his right eye. The doctor mentioned it's a lengthy two-year treatment but assured me there's a good chance of success in kids. He seems healthy otherwise since all his test reports came back normal. We were given lanzol junior tablets and purolh syrup to take alternately for two months, along with emolene cream for his face. But now I'm noticing that the area under his left eye is getting lighter too. I've heard there's no real cure for vitiligo, and I'm really anxious about whether he will be cured. Could you please provide some guidance on this?

Vitiligo is an unpredictable condition. Children do get very good response. Patches are usually bilaterally symmetrical in vitiligo, means if one elbow is affected other may also be affected. So same goes with one side of face. We have a lot of treatment strategies bit we cannot predict a recurrence.

View allI'm feeling kind of worried. My hands and feet have been getting really warm, almost hot, but the rest of my body temperature seems normal. I don't have a fever or anything like that, but it's just strange that only those areas are feeling warm. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it?
blood tests (for thyroid function, vitamin levels, glucose levels) Nerve conduction studies (to check for neuropathy) Circulatory tests (like an ankle-brachial index test or Doppler ultrasound) Electrolyte levels (to rule out imbalances)

I'm using Persol forte for my acne and it's causing some irritation, redness, and even peeling on my skin. Should I stop using it or is there something I can do to help with these side effects? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

I've been experiencing some mild itching inside my penis for the past 4 days. I'm really curious about what could be causing this and would love to know if there's any remedy I could try.
Itching inside the penis can be caused by various factors such as fungal infections, contact dermatitis, or sexually transmitted infections. To help relieve the itching, you can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. It is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the itching persists or worsens, it is recommended to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
