Is melanocyte transplantation an option for treating stable vitiligo? I've had it for about 8 months now and wondering if this surgery could help
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, melanocyte transplantation can be an option for treating stable vitiligo, particularly in cases where other treatments have not been successful. It involves surgically transferring melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) from a healthy area of skin to the depigmented areas of vitiligo. This procedure can help repigment the skin and restore color

View allI've been struggling with these heat boils that show up around my private area whenever I'm about to have my period. They're filled with pus and even blood sometimes, and it's incredibly painful. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
This could be due to a condition called folliculitis or an infection of the hair follicles. To help with this issue, you can try using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the affected area twice a day after cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, taking a course of oral antibiotics like Augmentin or Keflex as prescribed by a doctor can also help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further irritation. If the boils persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been noticing a lot more hair fall over the last month, and its really worrying me. It seems like my hair's getting thinner, and it hasn't been growing as long as it used to. I wash my hair with shampoo every day, but I don't use any oil. Could this be because of not getting enough protein or something else?
