I've been dealing with vitiligo for a decade now and have been on Pigmento tablets all this time. I've recently added Fish Oil Capsules to my routine hoping it might help with the growth of pigmentation. Does taking fish oil supplements really make a difference with vitiligo? Any advice you could give would be great.

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that consuming Fish oil capsules increases the growth of Vitiligo. Fish oil supplements are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which have anti-inflammatory properties and may benefit overall skin health. However, it is important to continue taking your Pigmento tablets for Vitiligo as prescribed. If you have any concerns or experience any new symptoms, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried about how frequently I've been masturbating and if that's a reason I ended up with candidal balanoposthitis. Do you think cutting back on masturbation could help fix this problem?
Masturbation itself is unlikely to directly cause candidal balanoposthitis. However, excessive masturbation can contribute to the development of this condition indirectly: _Friction and irritation_: Frequent masturbation can cause friction, leading to irritation and micro-tears in the skin. This can create an environment conducive to Candida overgrowth. _Moisture accumulation_: Masturbation can lead to increased moisture in the genital area, which can contribute to Candida growth. _Imbalanced skin pH_: Frequent masturbation can disrupt the natural skin pH, creating an environment that fosters Candida growth. Limiting masturbation may help alleviate some contributing factors, but it is unlikely to cure candidal balanoposthitis on its own. Treatment typically involves: _Antifungal medications_: Topical or oral antifungals to address the Candida infection. _Good genital hygiene_: Keeping the area clean and dry. _Avoiding irritants_: Reducing friction and avoiding harsh soaps or products.

I've noticed this yellow patch on my right breast really close to my nipple. It's not causing any pain, and there aren't any lumps or discharge, just this yellow spot. It's been two days, and it's still there, which has me feeling anxious. I'm just wondering, could this be something serious like cancer or maybe just a bruise?
That could be normal bruise, no need to worry,to be on safeside, visit surgeon for evaluation.

I've been diagnosed with LPP after a biopsy, and I'm dealing with black pigmentation on my face, underarms, and neck. At first, I didn't think much of it, but it's been spreading. I've been on medication for about six months now, using tacrolimus ointment since September 2016, and I did phototherapy for a while. But after phototherapy, my skin got so dry and dark that I just had to stop because it was really getting me down. My new doctor prescribed me Depiwhite and Pynomax TX cream for alternate nights and xamic tablets for a month. The thing is, when I looked up xamic, it seems to be meant for stopping excessive menstrual bleeding, but my periods are pretty regular, so I'm kind of worried about taking it. Could you please offer some advice on what I should do?
It is understandable to have concerns about taking a medication that is typically used for a different purpose. In your case, Xamic tablet (Tranexamic Acid) can also be used to reduce skin pigmentation and improve skin tone in conditions like LPP. The recommended dosage for skin pigmentation is usually 250-500mg twice daily. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and continue with the prescribed treatment plan. If you have any further concerns or experience any side effects, it is best to discuss them with your doctor for proper guidance.
