View allI've got these white patches on my knees and elbows, and even after three months of medical treatment, they seem to be spreading. I'm using Tab.vitibex twice a day and applying melgain lotion twice daily too. My diet includes sour and spicy foods. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could it be something I'm missing, or should I be adjusting my treatment or diet somehow? Any advice would be really appreciated!
It seems like you're being treated for vitiligo, a condition causing white patches. Despite 3 months of treatment, the patches are increasing. Concerns with your current treatment and diet: 1. *Treatment duration*: 3 months might not be sufficient for noticeable improvement. 2. *Diet*: Consuming sour and spicy foods may exacerbate vitiligo symptoms. Consider avoiding or reducing these foods. 3. *Sun protection*: Are you using sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily? Recommendations: 1. *Consult your doctor*: Discuss your concerns and the increasing patches. 2. *Dietary changes*: Consider a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. 3. *Sun protection*: Ensure you're using adequate sunscreen and protective clothing. 4. *Alternative treatments*: Your doctor may suggest other options, such as phototherapy or immunomodulators. Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to reassess your treatment plan.
