I'm really struggling with my skin during the winter months. It turns really dark and dry, and oddly enough, it actually gets even darker when I use moisturizers. To top it off, I start breaking out with pimples too. It's so frustrating, because my skin is completely fine in the summersmooth, bright, and pimple-free. I'm based in Delhi, if that makes any difference. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

View allI'm currently using Melgain Lotion at night and Pacroma Cream in the morning for my vitiligo, but I haven't seen any improvement in the pigmentation. I'm a bit worried and wondering if this is the right treatment plan. Is there something else I should be doing?
Vitiligo can be challenging to treat, and it's great that you're seeking a second opinion. Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream 1. Melgain Lotion: Contains a combination of melatonin, vitamins, and antioxidants, which may help promote repigmentation. 2. Pacroma Cream: Contains pimecrolimus, a topical immunomodulator that may help reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation. Evaluating the Treatment While Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream may be beneficial for vitiligo, it's essential to consider the following: 1. Treatment duration: Have you been using these creams for a sufficient amount of time (at least 3-6 months)? 2. Consistency and application: Are you applying the creams consistently, as directed, and covering the entire affected area? 3. Combination therapy: Have you considered combining these creams with other treatments, such as phototherapy, corticosteroids, or vitamin supplements? 4. Underlying causes: Are there any underlying causes or triggers for your vitiligo, such as autoimmune disorders, stress, or hormonal imbalances? Alternative Treatment Options If you're not seeing any improvement with Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream, consider discussing the following options with your doctor: 1. Phototherapy: Exposure to specific wavelengths of light, such as narrowband UVB or PUVA, can help stimulate repigmentation. 2. Corticosteroids: Topical or oral corticosteroids can help reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation. 3. Vitamin supplements: Certain vitamins, such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, or antioxidants, may help promote repigmentation. 4. Immunomodulatory therapies: Medications that modify the immune system's response, such as tacrolimus or pimecrolimus, may help promote repigmentation.

I'm recovering from COVID, and I've noticed that my fingers wrinkle up quickly, like when I wash my hands or have soups. They go back to normal after a while, but it's kind of strange. Is this something related to my recovery? How can I deal with it? Would love to hear your thoughts.

I'm asking for a friend who's naturally very dark-skinned due to her genes, and she's considering a melanin reduction procedure. I know this isn't super common in India, and there seems to be a lack of information about it. What are the risks and side effects she should be aware of, and how much does it typically cost? Also, what steps does she need to take to go through with this?
