I'm really worried because I've got these big white patches on my feet that started appearing a while back. I've been seeing a dermatologist since August, but there hasn't been any improvement so far. I've been using Pacroma, Topcort, and Vitix, and before that, I was on Olmis and Melgain. Plus, I've been taking antioxidants. I'm just really anxious about this and wondering if there's anything else I should be doing to help with this condition?

It seems like you are suffering from vitiligo, a skin condition that causes loss of skin color in patches. The treatment you are currently on includes Pacroma (Tacrolimus) and Topcort (Clobetasol) which are used to help repigment the skin. In addition to these, you can continue using Vitix (Khellin) which is also beneficial for vitiligo. Since you mentioned that you were previously advised to use Olmis instead of Pacroma and Melgain, you can discuss with your dermatologist about switching back to Olmis (Pimecrolimus) if there was no improvement with Pacroma. Continue taking antioxidants as they can help in overall skin health. It's important to follow your dermatologist's advice closely and have regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.

I've got these three lines on my stomach that I thought were from when I was heavier. Now that I've lost weight, I still have them. What can be done to make them go away?
To help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream on the affected area once daily at night. Additionally, you can also consider using a cream containing Hyaluronic Acid to improve skin hydration and elasticity. Make sure to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.

I'm curious about the combination of using Zydip lotion with coconut oil for hair growth and Nintop lotion in the morning. Is it safe to use them together, and do you think it might actually help with hair growth? I've also heard mixed things, so I'm kind of worried. What should I expect, and are there any side effects I should watch out for?
It sounds like your doctor has put together a comprehensive treatment plan to help with hair regrowth, and Zydip lotion with coconut oil combined with Nintop is a solid approach. Stick with the treatment as directed, and make sure to consult your doctor if you notice any unwanted side effects or if the hair thinning continues.
