I'm struggling with really bad foot odor whenever I wear shoes for just a few hours. At first, I thought it was athlete's foot, so I tried using Lotrimin, but then I found out it's actually pitted keratolysis. I switched to using 10% benzoyl peroxide ointments, and they seemed to help while I was using them. But as soon as I stop, the odor returns, and my feet start getting rough again. What should I do to tackle this for good? Any tips would be really helpful.

View allI'm really worried about a condition my nephew has. He's 8 years old and has been dealing with white spots on his skin that seem to be spreading. They started on his feet, then moved to his knees, and now theyre all over his body. We've been taking him to a dermatologist, but I'm anxious to know if there's a chance of this being cured completely, or if it's something that will last a lifetime. Can you shed some light on this?
Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition where white patches develop on the skin due to a lack of melanin. While there is no definitive cure for vitiligo, treatment options are available to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. One common treatment is the use of topical corticosteroids, such as Clobetasol cream, applied to the affected areas to help repigment the skin. Another option is phototherapy, which involves exposing the skin to UV light to stimulate melanin production. In more severe cases, oral medications like Methoxsalen may be prescribed to help repigment the skin.

I'm having a puzhuvettu issue with both my head and beard that's been really bothering me for the past three months. Can you give me some advice on what I should do to fix this problem?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I'm a bit confused about the Halovate F ointment I was prescribed. I'm currently breastfeeding, and I noticed the instructions say it's not recommended for that. I asked the dermatologist again, and she reassured me it's fine. But I just want to be completely sure. Can you shed some light on this?
Halovate F ointment's instructions advise against use during breastfeeding, but your dermatologist reassures it's safe. To be 100% sure, consult another specialist or a lactation expert, considering factors like the ointment's absorption rate and potential effects on milk.
