I'm trying to figure out the best lotion for dealing with dandruff. Should I go with Topisal lotion or Dfree lotion? Could you help me understand which one might offer better results? What are the benefits of each? I'm looking for a clear recommendation on which is best.

For dandruff, Topisal lotion (salicylic acid-based) is great if you have thick flakes or scalp buildup, as it exfoliates and reduces scaling. D'Free lotion (ketoconazole-based) is better if dandruff is due to fungal infections, as it targets the root cause.
If your dandruff is mild and itchy, go with D'Free for better long-term results. For severe scaling, start with Topisal and then switch to D'Free.

I'm dealing with vitiligo, those safed daag, and I'm really worried. I've had it since 2004 and I'm 20 now. Is there any chance it can be cured?
Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment. While there is no known cure for vitiligo, there are treatment options available to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. Some common treatments include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream applied to the affected areas twice daily, phototherapy using UVB light, and calcineurin inhibitors like Tacrolimus ointment. It is important to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
