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 just started taking medication for hair treatment since early September 2017 and I've come across some stuff about potential side effects. I'm kinda worried because some articles I read online are making me anxious. Are these side effects common for everyone, or is it just a few cases?

Continue same treatment.

I'm really worried about how much melanin my body seems to be producing lately. It feels like it's getting worse every day. I started using sunscreen, but I'm scared the damage might already be done. How can I prevent and reduce melanin production effectively? Any advice would be really appreciated.

To prevent and reduce the production of melanin in your body, in addition to using sunscreen, you can consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or azelaic acid. These can help lighten dark spots and inhibit melanin production. You can also incorporate vitamin C serums into your skincare routine, as they have brightening properties. Additionally, oral supplements like glutathione or vitamin E may help in reducing melanin production internally. Make sure to consult with a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.

I've been using clindamycin phosphate gel for a couple of weeks, and it seemed to be working because my skin was clearing up. I decided to stop the medication, but now I'm suddenly getting small acne spots all over my face. Could this be an allergic reaction or something else? What should I do?
