I've been dealing with vitiligo on my lips since 2007 and I've been using tacrolimus ointment 0.1 along with oral psoralen tablets, but I haven't seen any improvement. Is there anything else I should try or any advice you might have for my situation?

Vitiligo on lips since 2007, tacrolimus ointment 0.1% is being used at present along with oral psoralen tablet. But no any result. For vitiligo on the lips that has not responded to tacrolimus ointment and oral psoralen tablet, another treatment option to consider is topical corticosteroids. You can try using a potent topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol propionate ointment 0.05% twice daily on the affected areas of the lips. Additionally, phototherapy with narrowband UVB light can also be beneficial for treating vitiligo. It is important to continue treatment consistently and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm struggling with a fungal skin infection for about 10 months now and nothing seems to cure it permanently. It's really frustrating and I'm worried about why it's not going away. What should I do to get lasting relief?
You've been dealing with a fungal infection for 10 months, and it's essential to get proper treatment to avoid further complications. To cure fungal infections, antifungal medications are usually prescribed, which can come in various forms like oral medication, creams, powders, or shampoos. In addition to medication, some natural remedies may help, such as applying tea tree oil, aloe vera, or turmeric paste to the affected area.
