My brother has had stable vitiligo for about a year now after 5 years. Is there any surgery or treatment that can bring his skin back to normal within 2 months? If not, what's the fastest way to restore his normal skin? He's really stressed about starting college in Hyderabad with this condition.

While a complete return to normal skin color within two months is unlikely for vitiligo, several treatments can help improve the appearance and potentially slow the progression of the condition. Stable vitiligo means the condition hasn't spread for a year, which is a good sign, but it's crucial to remember that vitiligo is a chronic condition, and there is no cure

View allI'm really concerned about this bruise on my face. A week ago, I fell and hit my cheekbone pretty hard. At first, it was just bruised there, but now the bruising has spread all around my eye, and my eyelids and part of my cheek are this purple-green color. The swelling has gone down quite a bit, but there's still some, and I have this lump on my cheekbone that just won't go away. Could it be a hematoma? What's the best way to take care of this bruise and lump?
Sorry to hear that! _Bruising and Swelling_ 1. _Normal progression_: Bruising can spread and change colors as it heals. 2. _Swelling reduction_: Significant reduction in swelling is a good sign. _Lump on Cheekbone_ 1. _Possible hematoma_: A collection of blood that can cause a lump. 2. _Other possibilities_: Fat necrosis, bone fracture, or soft tissue injury. _Care and Treatment_ 1. _Cold compresses_: Continue applying cold compresses to reduce swelling. 2. _Elevation_: Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling. 3. _Pain management_: Use over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. 4. _Monitor for infection_: Watch for signs of infection, such as increased redness, warmth, or pus. 5. _Follow-up appointment_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to assess the lump and bruising. _When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention_ 1. _Increased swelling or pain_ 2. _Vision changes or double vision_ 3. _Difficulty moving your eye or face_ 4. _Signs of infection_
