View allI'm really worried about what's called Schamberg disease and Im trying to figure out if theres a way to treat it at home. What kind of home treatments are out there? Can it actually be managed without seeing a doctor, or is professional help necessary?
Schamberg disease, also known as progressive pigmented purpuric dermatosis, is a rare skin condition characterized by the appearance of reddish-brown spots or patches on the skin. Treatment Options: While there is no cure for Schamberg disease, various treatments can help manage its symptoms. Here are some conventional treatment options: 1. Topical corticosteroids: Over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription creams, ointments, or lotions can help reduce inflammation and itching. 2. Phototherapy: Exposure to specific wavelengths of light, such as narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy, can help reduce symptoms. 3. Immunosuppressive medications: In severe cases, medications like pentoxifylline or colchicine may be prescribed to suppress the immune system's response. Home Treatment and Self-Care: While medical treatments are essential, there are some home remedies and self-care measures that can help alleviate symptoms: 1. Moisturize: Keeping the skin hydrated can help reduce itching and inflammation. Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers. 2. Avoid irritants: Steer clear of harsh soaps, detergents, or other products that can irritate the skin. 3. Protect from the sun: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and protective clothing to prevent further skin damage. 4. Cool compresses: Applying cool, wet compresses to the affected areas can help reduce itching and inflammation. 5. Elevate affected areas: If the affected areas are on your legs or arms, elevate them to reduce swelling.

I've noticed that there's a spot in my mustache where the hair just isn't growing, even though the hair is there and surrounding areas are growing fine. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a disease, and do you think it'll start growing again on its own or do I need to look into some medicine?
