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 noticing these two long, red, thick lines forming on my stomach and one on my left upper arm. They're getting more pronounced and resemble a scar, almost like someone cut me with a knife. I'm really puzzled because they don't look like stretch marks to me. Can you help me figure out what kind of skin issue this might be?

I noticed a lump on my back that's leaking a white semi-solid substance should I be worried about this or is surgery necessary

A leaking back lump with white discharge could be an infected sebaceous cyst or abscess; it often needs surgical removal to prevent recurrence.
