Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Vitiligo is a skin condition in which white patches appear on your skin due to the loss of pigment cells. You are applying Melbild lotion and Tacroz Forte, which can contribute to the pigmentation process on your skin. If you are not seeing any improvements after 6 months, you should probably consider discussing other treatment options with your dermatologist.  Unfortunately, there is no remedy for white hair, but you can try using hair dyes to cover them up.

I am a 25 year old male and I have a skin condition around my testicles. It has been for over 2 years now. It appears to be a like a patch on the skin around my testicles. I recently got married 3 months ago. About a week ago, my crotch started giving out a pungent smell similar to that of chlorine despite washing it several times a day. Also, I observed small rashes on my scrotum and the skin peels when scratching it. Please I need your help.

You might have a skin condition known as tinea cruris, or jock itch. This is a fungal infection that often affects the groin area. Symptoms include red, itchy patches of skin, a bad smell, and peeling skin. It can be caused by sweating, tight clothing, or poor hygiene. To treat it, it is important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use antifungal creams.

My mother and brother have chicken pox. It's been 4 days and taking medicine. I have had this disease before. Is there any possibility of more coming as I am taking care of them? My father is on medication after his stroke. So, can he take preventive medicine? Is there any use in consuming it for so many days? Since we are all in one house, there is a common toilet. Cleaned with Dettol after each use. Is there a problem with that?

Female | 45

It's so cool that you worry about your family's health. As you have already had chicken pox, you are in all probabilities immune to it. Your dad who is in the process of stroke recovery should not use any preventive medicines on his own without consulting with the doctor. It is a good thing to wash the toilet with Dettol to reduce the possibility of the germs spreading. Pure, practicing the supreme rudiments and caring for one another will be enough to get by!

I am getting lots of hair fall. Almost half of my hair falled during last 7-8 months

Female | 34

Since the hair loss seems rapid, you need to consult a Trichologist / Dermatologist in India on priority... To find out the exact cause of such rapid hair loss and based on the hair loss condition an appropriate treatment would be recommended.

My left leg is wounded and have swelling by itching.

Male | 56

Looks like you got a wound in your left leg that’s swollen and itchy. Swelling and itching can occur when the body is healing a wound. It might be infected or irritated. To relieve these symptoms, ensure the wound is clean, use a mild antiseptic, and elevate your leg to reduce swelling. Change dressings frequently to prevent infection.

I am 18 years old and I have dark circle under in my eyes

Male | 18

The dark circles under your eyes can be annoying. The reasons might be lack of sleep, stress, or even allergies. However, rubbing your eyes a lot can also be the reason. Try sleep management, stress management, and not rubbing your eyes for a while. You can use cold compresses or eye cream as well.
