I'm really worried about my 12-year-old daughter's hair turning white. She's got about 50 white hairs already. I'm not sure what to do or which treatment would be best. Can you tell me what type of doctor we should see for this issue?

Premature graying of hair can be due to various factors such as genetics, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, or stress. To address this issue, you can consult a dermatologist. They can evaluate the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment. In this case, the doctor may prescribe a medication like Minoxidil solution to help with hair regrowth and prevent further graying. The dosage and application instructions will be provided by the dermatologist after evaluation.

View allI've been struggling with this ringworm for about 45 days now. At first, I thought it was just something minor, but after about 30 days, I figured out its actually ringworm. I'm using itchguard cream for temporary relief is this safe or should I be concerned? Would love to hear your advice on this.
Itchguard cream, containing clotrimazole, is an antifungal medication that can help treat ringworm, so using it temporarily is likely beneficial in reducing symptoms and fighting the infection; however, for optimal results and to ensure the infection is fully cleared, consider consulting a dermatologist for a comprehensive diagnosis and guidance on treatment duration and potential oral antifungal medications.

I've had Vitiligo for 23 years and I'm currently taking Tab patchex and using tacrovera solution. I'm really curious about how effective these treatments are. Can you give me some insights?
Tab Patchex contains Pentoxyfylline and is used in the treatment of Vitiligo. It helps in improving blood circulation and reducing inflammation. The usual dosage is 400mg three times a day. Tacrovera solution contains Tacrolimus and is also used in the treatment of Vitiligo. It works by suppressing the immune system in the skin. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer on the affected skin twice daily. Both these medications have shown effectiveness in treating Vitiligo, but individual responses may vary. It is important to continue using them as prescribed by your doctor for the best results.
