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.

I've been dealing with this itching problem all over my body for about a month now, and I'm really not sure what to do next. I tried using Dettol and itch guard, but they haven't helped. It's pretty frustrating. Any idea what might be causing this or what I should try next?

Itching for a month could be due to allergies, dry skin, infections, or other underlying issues. Avoid scratching, keep your skin moisturized, and wear loose, breathable clothes. Since Dettol and itch guard didnt help, consult a dermatologist to identify the cause and get proper treatment. Avoid self-medicating further.

I'm a bit worried because yesterday I noticed a bump or something like a pimple on my left nipple, and it was painful. Today, though, the pain's gone, but now there's some itching around it. Plus, I've noticed my left nipple is actually bigger than my right one. Should I be concerned about this?
