I've had this white spot on my right ankle for about four months now, and it's not getting any bigger. My doctor mentioned it might be vitiligo. I'm really hoping there's a way to treat it. Do you know of any available cures or treatments?

While vitiligo currently doesn't have a permanent cure, there are several treatment options to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. It's essential to work closely with your healthcare provider to find the treatment plan that works best for you. Keep in mind that results may vary, and a combination of treatments may be needed.

View allI'm really worried about why my skin stays dirty even after washing it well. It's like I have to almost scrape with something sharp just to get the dirt off. After a bath, it seems to get dirty super fast again. I've even tried washing my face around 45 times a day, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. It's strange because even just after washing, if I rub my hands on my face, I still end up with some dust. What could be going on here?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a buildup of dead skin cells and dirt on your skin. This could be due to a variety of factors such as excessive oil production, environmental factors, or improper skincare routine. I recommend using a gentle exfoliating cleanser to help remove the dead skin cells and dirt more effectively. You can try using a face wash containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, twice a day. Additionally, using a gentle scrub, such as St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub, 2-3 times a week can also help improve the texture of your skin. Make sure to moisturize your skin afterwards to prevent it from becoming too dry. If the issue persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit worried because I brought minoxidil USP 10HARE10 in India, and now that I'm in the UAE, I noticed that when I opened the bottle, the color is this strange yellow. I'm not sure if it's safe to use like this. Could this color change mean it's bad, or is it still okay to apply it?
it should not that much affected

I've noticed this mole pop up on my palm out of nowhere since last year. It's unlike the usual kind; it's shapeless and just doesn't look like other moles Ive had. Could you take a look at the picture I attached? Im really curious if this is something I should be worried about or if it's nothing major. Appreciate any advice you might have!
