I've been prescribed Tacroz Forte for my vitiligo, and I have patches on my genitals and forehead. I'm wondering if I should get sun exposure after applying Tacroz Forte ointment on my face. If so, how long should I be in the sun and is there a best time for this? Also, can I apply it on my lips? I was also given Clonate, so I'm unsure which one to use on my lips. Could you clarify this for me?

After applying Tacroz Forte Ointment on your face, it is recommended to avoid prolonged sun exposure. If you need to be in the sun, it is advisable to apply sunscreen with a high SPF. There is no specific time duration mentioned, but it is generally recommended to limit sun exposure and apply sunscreen regularly. Tacroz Forte Ointment should not be applied on the lips. For the lips, you can use Clonate cream as directed by your doctor. Clonate cream is suitable for application on the lips to treat any affected areas.

I'm really worried because I've had this fungal infection for about three months now and even after trying a lot of medicines, nothing seems to be helping. I'm currently taking Candiforce 200 mg. Can you advise if there's something else I should do or maybe a different treatment I should consider?

My head always feels really hot, and I'm not sure why. I'm a bit worried and wondering if there's something I could do to help with this. I've been using coconut oil dailycould that be affecting it? Any advice or solution would be appreciated.

Excessive head heat can be due to various factors like stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, or poor scalp circulation; to alleviate this, try applying coconut oil mixed with a few drops of peppermint or lavender essential oil to your scalp, practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises, maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and consider incorporating herbal teas like chamomile, hibiscus, or green tea to help regulate body temperature and promote relaxation.

I was told to use Darma Dew lotion by my doctor, but I lost the prescription. Can you guide me on how to properly use it for dry skin and skin irritations?

You can use Darma Dew lotion for dry skin and skin irritations. Apply a thin layer of the lotion to the affected areas 2-3 times a day, or as directed by your doctor. Make sure to clean and dry the skin before applying the lotion for better absorption and effectiveness.
