I've got some burn marks on my right hand and palm, and they extend to my stomach too. It's really impacting my personal life, and I'm quite worried. Could you tell me if these marks will fade over time and how they might affect my daily activities? Is there anything I should be doing to help them heal or prevent further issues?

I'm really worried about my little nephewhe's just a year old and we've noticed a few small white spots on his hand. My brother has had vitiligo since he was a kid, but thankfully it's under control now. I'm concerned though; is it possible that vitiligo can be passed down from father to son? And if it is, how can we effectively treat it for the baby to keep it from becoming a big issue as he grows up?

In conclusion, while vitiligo can have a genetic link, its not certain that your nephew will develop it just because his father has it. Consulting a specialist will give you peace of mind and help ensure the right approach to treatment if needed.

I've been really anxious since my circumcision surgery 44 days ago because the stitches are still there. How much longer do these typically take to dissolve? Also, I'm curious when the sensitivity might start to decrease. Is there anything I should be doing in the meantime?

No need to worry they dissolve in 120-180 days depending upon the type of material used, sensitivity will become less with time.
