Comparing Phototherapy & Oral Meds for Vitiligo Treatment

What is the best treatment for vitiligo? Benifit between Pototherapy or oral medication for vitiligo treatment

1 Answer

Answered on 11th Sept '24

Vitiligo makes your skin lose­ color in patches. Cells that produce pigme­nt stop functioning, leading to white spots. Treatme­nt choices are phototherapy and me­dicines. Phototherapy uses light to re­store pigmentation. Oral medications he­lp regain skin color. A dermatologist can recommend tre­atment after assessing your condition. Photothe­rapy and medication are effe­ctive options. Discuss with your doctor to choose the right approach.

I had acne breakout in my forehead and chin

Female | 28

The forehead and chin acne breakout is a skin disorder resulting from blocked pores caused by excessive oil production. I recommend that you see a dermatologist to receive proper diagnosis and treatment. Based on the level of your acne, they might suggest topical adjuvants or oral medications.

Male | 27

It appears as though you possibly have an extremely bad allergic reaction on your podophylin cream. I suggest that you go to a dermatologist immediately for an assessment and treatment.

I want to know the best skincare for a 27 year old lady with dry skin type. I am ready to use sunscreen, oil, peptides, supplements etc. I have been noticing fine lines around my eyes and blackheads near nose.

Female | 27

For fine lines around eyes: We first need to ascertain whether it is a static or a dynamic wrinkle. For static wrinkle, retinol-based creams or serums and polyhydroxy acids creams will do the job. And for Dynamic wrinkle, the only treatment option is Botulinum Toxin(BOTOX) Injections. Black heads, above creams will take care of the problem, if not then lasers might be required.

I have developed skin infection. It's white and reddish thick dry scaly itchy skin area.

Male | Shailesh Patel

You might be suffering from a fungal skin infection known as ringworm. Ringworm can turn your skin into white, reddish, thick, dry, and scaly. Apart from that, the skin can get very itchy. Ringworm is a type of fungus that spreads through skin-to-skin contact. To help get rid of ringworm, you can use antifungal cream. However, it would be best if you cleaned and dried the area.

There is white thin layer store on my penis head daily . Which has foul smell . It com off easy when i wash woth water . My sex partner has same pronlem with vagina . Any medicine to treat them

Male | 32

Yeast infections are often caused by the development of sweat in the skin folds, wearing tight clothing, or improper bathing. It's also recommended to clean the area with water and to dry it thoroughly. You should also try to cut down on fast foods, which are also high in sugar because yeast feeds on sugar.

Nostril laser hair removal

Female | 44

Nostril hair removal procedure is a cosmetic procedure that can be performed by a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon with a valid license. It is a safe and effective way to remove unwanted hair from the nostrils. If you are interested in this procedure, I would advise you to consult with a qualified specialist in dermatology or plastic surgery.

Male | 29

Fungal infections take time for complete cure. You should apply the cream given , use soap and tablet given if any for minimum 2 weeks regularly. Keep Skin dry, bathe twice a day. Don't use common towels or clothes.

Skin care products for dark dry skin types

Female | 20

When dry, dark skin fe­els tight or rough, itchiness happens some­times. This dryness arises due­ to cold air, harsh soaps, and lack of water. Find skin creams containing shea butte­r or glycerin to keep skin soft and hydrate­d. Hyaluronic acid also helps. Use sunscree­n always and drink lots of water. Hot showers damage by stripping natural oils away from the skin. So the­y're best avoided.
