I've been dealing with acne for the past six months and I'm thinking about trying tretiva. I'm wondering if tretiva works the same as accutane, which is known to be quite pricey in other countries. Does tretiva provide similar results?

I'm really hoping to find a good doctor who can help with treating vitiligo. I want to get rid of the symptoms quickly. Any recommendations or advice on how to find the best treatment options?

For the treatment of vitiligo and fast removal of symptoms, you can consider using a combination of topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream along with calcineurin inhibitors such as Tacrolimus ointment. These medications can help to repigment the affected areas of the skin. Additionally, phototherapy with narrowband UVB or excimer laser can also be beneficial in treating vitiligo. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management plan.
