which treatment works faster for stable vitiligo - excimer laser or surgical options like grafting? i'm trying to understand which one gives quicker repigmentation results
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For stable vitiligo, surgical grafting generally offers faster repigmentation results compared to excimer laser treatment. While excimer laser can achieve repigmentation, surgical options, like split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) and noncultured epidermal cell suspension (NCECS), are often preferred for their quicker and more complete results, especially in stable disease

View allI'm noticing that the skin on either side of my nose is turning black, and it seems to be getting worse with each passing day. I'm really worried about this. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can make it stop or reduce it?
The blackening of the skin on both sides of your nose may be due to a condition called seborrheic dermatitis. I recommend using a topical antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected areas. In addition, you can use a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream once daily to reduce inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid picking or scratching at the skin. If the condition does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a ring-shaped rash on my lower body, like my legs and thighs. It's been there for years, maybe around 2025 days, and it's just spreading instead of healing. I've tried using Cream clofresh ot, but it hasn't helped at all. What would you recommend to stop it from spreading and finally get rid of it? I'm really worried about this.
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm dealing with a situation where I had corns on my toes because of my footwear, and I used salactin paint to try and fix it. While the corns have settled down a bit, I accidentally put some of the salactin on my normal skin, and now it's more damaged than the corns were. I've been trying to rub off the affected skin but haven't had any luck, and it's been almost a month now. What should I do?
