I've had this dry whitish patch on the shaft of my penis for about six months now, and it's got me a bit worried. The skin on that patch is kinda wrinkly, and when I wet it with water or oil, it appears to go back to normal, but it still seems a bit lighter than the rest of the skin. Should I be concerned about this? What might be causing it, and is there anything I can do to treat or improve it?

The symptoms you described, including a dry, whitish patch with wrinkly skin on the penis shaft that normalizes with moisture, could be indicative of vitiligo, eczema, or lichen sclerosus; consult a dermatologist

View allI'm really worried about my vitiligo. I've had it for 15 years and it's been stable because I've been using purol h syrup, octomop tablet, tacrom ointment, and tolenorm oil. But I'm not seeing any actual improvement. So I switched doctors recently, and now I'm on melbild lotion, pathex tablet, placentrax gel, and trimop forte. Instead of getting better, it's spreading more. I'm kind of lost hereany advice on what I should do next?
In such cases, it's important to consult with your doctor to discuss other treatment options that may be more effective for you. Additionally, phototherapy or laser therapy may be considered as alternative treatments for vitiligo. It's essential to continue following up with your healthcare provider to find the best treatment plan for your condition.

I'm considering trying out either a chemical peel or a skin laser lightening treatment to lighten my complexion a bit, both for my face and hands. There's no medical issue, I'm just curious about brightening things up a shade or two. If I go ahead with this, would you have any idea how much it might cost in Karnataka, India? Also, how much will my skin lighten after these treatments, and how long can I expect the effects to last? I'm just trying to weigh my options and figure out what might be the best approach!

I've been using Skinlite for a couple of days now, and I'm really worried because the skin around my black spots has gotten worse. It's turned red and then turned black. What can I do to get my skin back to normal?
You can apply a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day for 1 week to reduce inflammation. Additionally, use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion to keep the skin hydrated. Make sure to protect your skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
