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.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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've been using Betnovate N for a while, and I just stopped about four days ago. I'm noticing some side effects and it's really concerning me. I'm trying to figure out what the right medication would be to help improve my skin condition now. Could you give me some advice on this?
It's important to gradually taper off the use of Betnovate to avoid withdrawal effects. To improve your skin condition and manage any side effects, you can consider using a mild topical corticosteroid like Hydrocortisone cream along with a moisturizer like Cetaphil. Additionally, you can use an emollient like E45 cream to help repair the skin barrier. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions for each medication.

I've been dealing with this itchy rash in my groin area for a couple of weeks now. It's all red and I found some patches too. I tried using Listerine Mouthwash like I read online that it might help, but I haven't seen much improvement. Do you think I should wait it out a bit longer or is it better to go see a dermatologist? What do you suggest?

I've noticed some small, painless bumps on the foreskin of my penis that don't itch or bother me at all. They've been there for over a year now, and Im just wondering what these might be. I've attached a photo for reference. Could you let me know what these bumps are?
May be Fordyce spots. Fordyce spots are harmless, small, yellow-white or skin-colored spots that can appear on the shaft of the penis, the labia, or the vermilion border of the lips. They are a type of ectopic sebaceous gland and are considered a normal variation. There is no specific treatment necessary for Fordyce spots, as they are benign and do not cause any symptoms. However, if you are concerned about the appearance or if they are causing you distress, you may consider consulting a dermatologist.
