I've noticed my skin tone is a bit uneven and there's a tan on my face. My dermatologist recommended I start using Demelan cream. Before this, I was using Tretinoin 0.04. Is it alright to switch between Tretinoin and Demelan cream every other night?

I'm noticing some white patches on my fingers and I've had them for a couple of months now. They don't seem to be spreading, which is a bit of a relief, but its still worrying me. After visiting a doctor, he told me it's vitiligo, but I'm not completely convinced. He prescribed some medications like Viterma capsules, Dermadew cream, Tacmod forte, Melanocyl ointment, Placentrex gel, and HHSONE cream. I've attached a few pictures for reference. Does this sound like vitiligo to you, and do you think these meds can actually help with it?

Viterma and dermadew cream is advised for 2-4 weeks for local application ,once daily.If any side-effects like itching,burning,or allergic reactions kindly consult dermatologist.

I've heard a lot about dairy products causing acne. I'm wondering if I should stop drinking milk to avoid getting pimples. I don't eat chocolate, cheese, or butter, but I do drink a glass of milk every day. Will that lead to breakouts? Should I cut back on milk?
