I'm really worried about my vitiligo. I've had it for 15 years and it's been stable because I've been using purol h syrup, octomop tablet, tacrom ointment, and tolenorm oil. But I'm not seeing any actual improvement. So I switched doctors recently, and now I'm on melbild lotion, pathex tablet, placentrax gel, and trimop forte. Instead of getting better, it's spreading more. I'm kind of lost hereany advice on what I should do next?

In such cases, it's important to consult with your doctor to discuss other treatment options that may be more effective for you. Additionally, phototherapy or laser therapy may be considered as alternative treatments for vitiligo. It's essential to continue following up with your healthcare provider to find the best treatment plan for your condition.

I'm dealing with iron deficiency and was taking Ferrium XT for it. But ever since I started, I've been breaking out with acne on my face. Do you know of any iron supplements that might not have this side effect of acne or pimples?

You can try taking Ferglow tablets, which are a gentle iron supplement that is less likely to cause side effects like acne or pimples. The recommended dosage is one tablet daily, but please consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I've noticed some white patches on the skin of my testicles, like about an inch big, and sometimes they get itchy. I've been using antifungal powder to try and keep the area dry, but I'm still worried. What could this be, and is there anything else I should be doing?
