I'm really seeing some major color changes on a vitiligo patch on my head after using melgain and tacrolimus 0.03 ointment for just a month. While that's encouraging, I'm feeling a bit anxious about what the future might hold. Could you help me understand what to expect long-term with these treatments and if theres anything I should watch out for?

I've been having this weird sensation where it feels like ants are biting me all over my body, especially when I start working out or if I'm standing in the sunlight. My skin starts releasing this white, hair-thin substance from the pores, turns reddish, and it's almost unbearable for me to be in the sun or exercise in the winter. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

I've been having some hair loss issues even after taking Adgain capsules about 6 months ago, which my doctor recommended. Is it okay if I start taking them again, or is there something else I should try first? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate any advice.

Adgain capsule is a combination of Biotin, Amino Acids, Minerals, and Vitamins, which is commonly used to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. It is safe to take Adgain capsule again for hair loss. The usual dosage is 1 capsule daily after meals for at least 3-6 months for best results.

I accidentally drank hot water that was around 60 or 70 degrees. My lips and tongue got burned, and I still feel a burning sensation, but the color hasnt changed and there are no burn marks. My lips have started to recover a bit, but my tongue, especially the underside, still has severe issues. It's painful to eat. Is there any ointment or medication you recommend for my tongue?
