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.

Skinny fat in tummy thigh and butt

Male | 23

"skinny fat" in your tummy, thighs, and butt is quite common. "skinny fat" refers to having a higher percentage of body fat and lower muscle mass, even if you appear slender. This can be due to factors like a lack of exercise, poor diet, or genetics. To address this, incorporating strength training exercises, such as squats or lunges, can help build muscle and tone those areas. Also, focusing on a balanced diet with plenty of protein and veggies can support your fitness goals.

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.

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.

Ik heb een witte vlek op mijn eikel zitten en ik maak me zorgen omdat ik zelf brown skin ben. Dus mijn vraag is dat normaal want het is nu half bruin en wit

Mannelijk | 25

Goeiedag, het is begrijpelijk dat je je zorgen maakt over een verandering in je huid. Een witte vlek op de eikel kan verschillende oorzaken hebben, zoals een schimmelinfectie, vitiligo of andere huidcondities. Dit kan normaal zijn, maar het is belangrijk om het te laten onderzoeken door een professional. Een arts kan een juiste diagnose stellen en mogelijke behandelingen aanbevelen. Probeer je niet te veel druk te maken; veel mensen ervaren vergelijkbare problemen. Maak gerust een afspraak om het te laten controleren; goede zorg is cruciaal voor je gemoedsrust en gezondheid.
