For white patches, you can use Tacrolimus ointment twice daily on the affected areas. For black patches, you can use Hydroquinone cream once daily on the affected areas. Make sure to apply a thin layer of the ointment or cream and gently massage it into the skin.

Question 2

Hi doctor, Ive been dealing with itching all over my body for about a month now. Its really uncomfortable, and Ive tried using Dettol and Itch Guard, but the itching still hasnt gone away. What could be causing this, and what should I do to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Itching for a month could be due to allergies, dry skin, infections, or other underlying issues. Avoid scratching, keep your skin moisturized, and wear loose, breathable clothes. Since Dettol and itch guard didnt help, consult a dermatologist to identify the cause and get proper treatment. Avoid self-medicating further.

Accepted Answer

The dark patches on your inner thighs could be a sign of a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance. To address this, I recommend using a topical cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin, such as Tri-Luma cream, to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, managing your insulin levels through lifestyle changes and medications like metformin can help improve the condition. For the increased appetite and tiredness, it is important to address the underlying cause, which may involve further evaluation and treatment.
