I've been noticing these white patches popping up on my skin again. I had one near my eye when I was 17 but it went away after treatment. Now, a couple of years later, they're on my elbows and knees. I've tried some remedies and theyve shrunk a bit, but I'm worried. What could these white patches be and should I be doing something different to get rid of them completely?

Valproate CR 300 twice a day is a common dosage for epilepsy management.
Triglyceride Level: The elevated triglyceride level (260) could be related to Valproate, as it's a known side effect. Other factors, such as diet, lifestyle, and genetics, may also contribute.
Other Possible Side Effects:
- Weight gain
- Hair loss
- Tremors
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Increased liver enzymes
Stopping the Medicine: It's essential to consult your neurologist or doctor before stopping or adjusting your medication. Suddenly stopping Valproate can lead to:
- Seizure recurrence
- Withdrawal symptoms
Given your history of epilepsy attacks, it's crucial to work with your doctor to:
- Monitor your triglyceride levels
- Adjust your diet and lifestyle
- Consider alternative medications or dosage adjustments
Do not stop taking your medication without consulting your doctor.

I'm really concerned about my wife. For the last 23 days, she's had this red rash with a black spot on her hand. It doesnt seem to itch until she actually starts scratching it. It's odd because it's only on one hand. I've attached a photo. Could someone help me figure out what this might be?
It appears that your wife may be experiencing a contact dermatitis with a secondary infection. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent further infection. Additionally, she can take an antihistamine like Benadryl to help with any itching. Make sure to clean the area gently with mild soap and water before applying the ointment. If the rash persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
