I've got some small white patches on my neck and chest. I've been using TBIS 0.1 and trimop forte, and it's helped stop them from spreading. But now I'm wondering what I should use for the depigmentation. Any advice on this would be great!

For depigmentation of the white patches on your neck and chest, you can try using a topical corticosteroid cream like Clobetasol Propionate 0.05%. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas once daily for a few weeks. Additionally, you can also consider using a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone 4% to help even out the skin tone. Make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further pigmentation changes.

View allI'm dealing with some annoying symptoms after getting bitten by a bunch of leeches about a week ago. They were pretty small, but now I've got these little bumps where they were, and the itching is driving me crazy. Any idea how I can get this itching to stop?

I've had issues before with redness and sores on my penis, and during the lockdown, one dermatologist said it was genital herpes. He prescribed Acyclovir, but it didn't work, so I saw another dermatologist in person. She diagnosed it as a secondary bacterial infection and balanoposthitis, which cleared up after treatment. Out of curiosity, I got IgM and IgG blood tests for HSV 1 and 2, plus other STD tests, and everything came back negative. I repeated the tests after three months and they were still negative. Now, this year, I've noticed redness and a sore again. Should I be worried that it's herpes, or is it likely to be something else?
Given your previous history and negative blood test results for HSV 1 and 2, it is less likely that the current symptoms are due to herpes. It is important to consider other possible causes such as a fungal infection, contact dermatitis, or another type of bacterial infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for 2 weeks to see if there is any improvement. If there is no improvement or if the symptoms worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been using Evion 400 on my face for the last couple of days, and I've started getting headaches afterward. Is this something that happens sometimes, or do you think I should stop using it on my skin?
