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.

View allI'm dealing with vitiligo, those safed daag, and I'm really worried. I've had it since 2004 and I'm 20 now. Is there any chance it can be cured?
Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment. While there is no known cure for vitiligo, there are treatment options available to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. Some common treatments include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream applied to the affected areas twice daily, phototherapy using UVB light, and calcineurin inhibitors like Tacrolimus ointment. It is important to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

I'm dealing with this really annoying rash that started back in January after intercourse. It was just a rash at first but then turned into ringworm, and I've been on and off with medication. Switched to homeopathy and it seemed to help, but then I had to move to Jaipur for work and ever since, the itching has only gotten worse. What should I do?
I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, taking an oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once a day can also help. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent spreading the infection.

I've been using this honeymilk face pack overnight, about 12 hours, and even applied it to my eyebrows. My friend just mentioned that using honey on eyebrows can turn them white. Should I be worried? Is it true that honey can do that? Please let me know what you think.
