View allI'm really struggling with this skin disease I've had for years. I've attached a photo so you can see what's going on. Could you help me figure out a solution?
I see that you are suffering from a skin disease. Based on the photograph you have attached, it appears to be psoriasis. I recommend using topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol propionate cream twice daily on the affected areas. In addition, you can also use coal tar preparations like Tegrin cream or ointment. For severe cases, you may need oral medications like Methotrexate or Acitretin. However, these should be taken under the guidance of a dermatologist. Please consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm noticing that my left index fingernail is turning kind of yellowish or orangish. Is this something I should be worried about? I do smoke weed and cigarettes a lot, and I usually drink alcohol on weekends. Could these habits be causing it?
Yellowish or orangish discoloration of the nails can be a sign of a fungal infection or staining from smoking. It is important to address the underlying cause. You can try using an antifungal nail lacquer like Ciclopirox (8% solution) or Amorolfine (5% solution) daily for several months to treat a fungal infection. Additionally, quitting smoking and reducing alcohol consumption can also help improve the health of your nails.

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?
Usually vitiligo is a chronic disease and takes time to heal,have patience and continue the treatment as advised by your doctor,consume protein rich food for better results.
