I've been dealing with this constant itching on my body that's really bugging me. Weirdly, there are no rashes, but my skin underneath looks really dark, almost black. I've tried tons of allergy meds like antibiotics, evil 50, and levocet, but nothing seems to work. On top of that, I've also noticed these small bumps on my penis, and I'm worried it might be a fungal infection. Any ideas on what could be going on or what I should do next?

I'm using Melanocyl ointment for my vitiligo as prescribed by my doctor, but I've developed a sore and a reddish patch on the area I'm treating. My doctor is currently on leave. What should I do about the sore?

Seems like you may be experiencing a reaction to the Melanocyl ointment. You can try using a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the sore area to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer twice a day for a week. Additionally, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with another healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
