I'm struggling with vitiligo for the past 4 years and it's really concerning me. I've got these white patches on my neck and chest, and nothing seems to work. I followed a treatment plan for 34 months with tablets like Orofer after lunch, Meganeuron in the morning, used Melgain lotion after a bath, got some sun exposure before lunch, and applied Tacoz forte ointment at night, but there's been no improvement. I'm from Mumbai and Marine Lines is the closest station to me. Can you please guide me on what I might be doing wrong or if there's an alternative treatment I should consider?

I've been dealing with this annoying itch on my right butt cheek. It's kind of embarrassing to see a doctor in person about it. Could you suggest an ointment or gel that might help me get rid of it?
I recommend using hydrocortisone cream 1% for the itching on your right butt cheek. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.

I've been using Betnovate N for a while, and I just stopped about four days ago. I'm noticing some side effects and it's really concerning me. I'm trying to figure out what the right medication would be to help improve my skin condition now. Could you give me some advice on this?
It's important to gradually taper off the use of Betnovate to avoid withdrawal effects. To improve your skin condition and manage any side effects, you can consider using a mild topical corticosteroid like Hydrocortisone cream along with a moisturizer like Cetaphil. Additionally, you can use an emollient like E45 cream to help repair the skin barrier. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions for each medication.
