Question 2

I have white patches on both knees and elbows and have taken medical treatment for 3 months but still it seems increasing. Tab.vitibex 2 times a day and melgain lotion 2 times a day on diet of sour and spicy foods.

Accepted Answer

It seems like you're being treated for vitiligo, a condition causing white patches. Despite 3 months of treatment, the patches are increasing.

Concerns with your current treatment and diet:

1. *Treatment duration*: 3 months might not be sufficient for noticeable improvement.
2. *Diet*: Consuming sour and spicy foods may exacerbate vitiligo symptoms. Consider avoiding or reducing these foods.
3. *Sun protection*: Are you using sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily?

Recommendations:

1. *Consult your doctor*: Discuss your concerns and the increasing patches.
2. *Dietary changes*: Consider a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
3. *Sun protection*: Ensure you're using adequate sunscreen and protective clothing.
4. *Alternative treatments*: Your doctor may suggest other options, such as phototherapy or immunomodulators.

Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to reassess your treatment plan.

Accepted Answer

Dark lips can recur due to various factors like sun exposure, smoking, dehydration, and medical conditions. While laser treatments like Q-Switch Nd: Yag laser can provide effective results, their permanence depends on individual skin types and conditions. Some people may require touch-up sessions every 6 months, while others may achieve permanent results. To minimize recurrence, maintain good lip hygiene, protect your lips from the sun, and avoid habits that exacerbate dark lips. Consult a dermatologis
