I've been dealing with this issue since I was a kid. Can you tell me what kinds of treatments are available there for vitiligo? I tried phototherapy about six months ago, but I didn't notice any changes. What do you suggest I do?

View allI've got this black mark on my skin from an oil splash that turned red, and even though I used boroline, the mark's still there. What ointment should I use to help fade it away?
A splash of oil can sometimes cause skin irritation and lead to discoloration. To help fade the black mark left by the oil, you can apply a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the affected area once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening.

I've been dealing with a boil just below my waistline and have been using a warm compress three times a day. It popped yesterday and when I took the bandage off this morning, I noticed there's a white scab with some blood. Is it normal for the scab to be white, maybe because of moisture or something?
Yes, it is normal for the scab to appear white, especially after it has been covered with a bandage and exposed to moisture from the warm compress. The white color is due to the accumulation of pus and dead white blood cells at the site of the boil. To help with the healing process, you can continue applying warm compresses to the area and keep it clean. Additionally, you may consider using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection.
