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?

Is there any way to treat or manage macular amyloidosis? I've seen quite a few dermatologists, but they all told me there's no cure, and the medications they gave me didn't seem to help. Could you provide any insight or advice on this?
Unfortunately, there is currently no definitive cure for macular amyloidosis. However, topical treatments such as Tacrolimus ointment can help improve the appearance of the affected skin. You can apply Tacrolimus ointment twice daily to the affected areas as prescribed by your dermatologist. Additionally, phototherapy with Narrowband UVB light may also be beneficial in some cases. It is important to follow your dermatologist's recommendations for the best management of macular amyloidosis.

I'm really worried because half of my lower lip has turned pink and it looks pretty ugly. I don't smoke or anything, so I'm confused and concerned about what's going on. Can you help me figure out why this might have happened and if there's a way to fix it permanently?
This change in color could be due to a variety of reasons such as an allergic reaction, infection, or even a vitamin deficiency. To address this issue, you can try using a lip balm containing hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation and restore the normal color of your lip. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and consider taking a vitamin B complex supplement to support overall lip health. If the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
