My sister has vitiligo with visible spots on her hands and legs, plus other areas. Her marriage is coming up, and the groom's family wants to see her hands and feet. Are there any temporary ways to hide the spots without using cosmetics since they don't work well? We have around 78 months before the wedding would surgery be an option, or is there a quicker fix?

For temporary spot concealment without cosmetics, consider covering the areas with long sleeves and pants, or use light-colored, opaque scarves or shawls. With 78 months until the wedding, surgery like skin grafting might be an option, but it's not a quick fix. Light therapy, often used in conjunction with other treatments, could be considered.

View allI've been dealing with this frustrating fungal infection in my groin for a while now. It's got this annoying itching and my skin has turned dark, almost black. I'm 48 and weigh about 80 KGs. I've been using forederm ointment for a month, but if I skip even a day or two, the symptoms come right back. I'm really looking for some help here. Is there something else I should try or any advice you can give me to get this under control?
It seems like you have a persistent fungal infection in your groin area. I recommend you try using Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection internally. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation.

I had laser surgery for wart removal but I'm still seeing bumps with black spots even after finishing my 5-day course of meds the doctor prescribed. When will this fully heal? The doctor scheduled a follow-up but should I keep taking the meds? I really want these warts gone completely without any marks are there better treatments or meds I should try?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
