I've got this white spot on my neck and hand that's really worrying me - it came up suddenly and looks unusual. What could be causing these white patches to appear out of nowhere? Should I see a dermatologist right away or is there something I can try at home first? The one on my neck seems to be spreading a bit which has me concerned.

Question

I'm really struggling with lichen planus on my legs for the past 5 years and it's been a tough journey. I've tried homeocare for over 4 years, but it hasn't helped much and I'm getting really frustrated. Can you suggest any better treatments available in Hyderabad? I'm looking for something that could actually make a difference.

Question

I'm supposed to use candid LA ointment on my penis, but the tube I have doesnt mention LA, nor does it say Candid B. Are these two different creams? Also, what's the right way to apply it? Should I retract the foreskin, apply the cream, and then put the foreskin back, or apply the cream, wash it off, and then restore the foreskin?

Question

I've been dealing with acne and pimples on my face for about a year and a half now. I'm wondering if taking Safi might help clear my skin. Does it actually work for this kind of issue? Can you shed some light on this for me?
