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 using Seba med anti hair loss shampoo because a dermatologist recommended it, and while it seems to cut down on the hair fall during washing, I've noticed my hair gets really dry after and I end up losing more hair once it dries out. Is there something I should be doing differently, or any advice on how to handle this issue?

Seba med anti hair loss shampoo may be too drying for your hair. I recommend switching to a moisturizing shampoo like Pantene Pro-V Moisture Renewal Shampoo. Additionally, you can use a conditioner like Dove Nutritive Solutions Daily Moisture Conditioner to help hydrate your hair and reduce hair fall. Make sure to use lukewarm water for washing and avoid hot water, as it can further dry out your hair.

I've just found a small lump in my inner left thigh. It's pretty noticeable and I can feel it when I touch the area. It's a bit under an inch around and oddly, it doesn't hurt. Who do you think I should talk to about this? Any idea what might be going on?
