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've been dealing with severe acidity, heartburn, and gas, but thankfully that's under control now. However, I've also been experiencing a lot of hair fall, along with dandruff and acne, and my skin's been really oily. This doesn't run in my family, so I'm a bit confused. I'm currently taking the adgain hair supplement. Should I keep using it, or is it time to schedule another checkup?

It might be a good idea to consult a dermatologist or trichologist to get a better understanding of the cause of your symptoms. You can continue the Adgain hair supplement for now, but be mindful of any side effects. Make sure you're addressing both your skin and hair care routines properly and managing your diet and stress levels.
