Vitiligo problem from 5 year

Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

This condition cannot be cured, treatment for it can however either restore color to the region, or slow down loss of pigments owing to this condition. Medications and intense light therapies can help in restoring skin color or in making skin tone even, but the results vary and are unpredictable, they may have serious side effects too, thus your medical history as well as pre-treatment preparations matter. Doctors generally suggest tanning or makeup to hide vitiligo. If your doctor decides to treat you with a drug, surgery or therapy, the process may take several months to show results, and they may not last long enough as new patches will reappear. Your doctor might also recommend applying a medication to the skin so as to prevent relapse.

My roommate has said she had a cold sore for the last two days. And I’m a bit worried. She gave me a piece of food that she bit off of and offered me and also a drink (I didn’t drink off the straw, rather just our the cup) I’m a bit nervous, I’m not sure if she had an outbreak during those times but it was about two / three days ago. Could herpes be spread in that way? (I definitely could be uneducated but just a bit nervous)

Female | 20

Cold sores result from the herpes simplex virus spread by close contact such as kissing or sharing eating utensils. Nonetheless, passing herpes through sharing food or drinks is very unlikely. Signs may commence with a tingling sensation and itching feeling then develop into blisters on the lips or around the mouth. To avoid contracting herpes simplex virus, refrain from sharing cutlery and glasses besides washing hands often.

Female | 25

An itchy lip can be due to poor hydration, an allergic reaction or even a cold sore. It is recommended to see a dermatologist for a correct diagnosis and treatment choice. In due course, refrain from licking your lips and use petroleum jelly to moisturize your lips.

I have whiteheads on my full face since 2 years i also have Whitehead in eyebrows I feel iching on full face Hair of my eyebrows are sheding I feel like something is crawling on my face I also have open pores

Female | 39

You are experiencing seborrheic dermatitis. The condition can be whiteheads, itching, and the loss of eyebrow hair that can particularly be felt on the skin. Skin can develop open pores. It is a result of an overgrowth of yeast on the skin. With the assistance of mild cleansers that don't have any scent at all and dandruff shampoos, they can get rid of the issues of the poor comfort that they have with treatment.

I'm having dandruff from last 10 years. Tried many Doctors, medicines & home remedies but still having the same problem. Looking for a good medicine to cure this problem.

Male | 26

There are a few products available to help with dandruff. Better to use those that contain selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithione, or ketoconazole. These ingredients are known to help reduce dandruff. Avoid styling products that contain alcohol, as these can dry out and irritate the scalp. Talk to your doctor about any underlying conditions it could be a sign of an infection or other medical condition.

I have a rash on my armpits and on both but it mainly itches on my left armpit and I’ve tried putting on antibiotics cream and Benadryl cream and it still itches and not getting better I haven’t been putting on deodorant either because of it

Female | 33

It seems to be a fungal infection in your left armpit. I suggest you see a dermatologist to look into the rash, and get a medication accordingly. Deodorant should also be avoided as it might make the situation worse.

Itching eczema or dermatitis

Male | 24

When your skin feels itchy, turns red and sometimes swells up it's called itching eczema or dermatitis. This could happen if your skin is sensitive to things such as soap, fabrics even stress. To relieve the condition, consider mild bathing soaps, and gentle moisturizers as well as resist scratching at all costs. If this doesn’t work out then you should see a dermatologist who can prescribe some special creams
