Can I Have Applied - Candid Antifungal Cream For 1 Week And Periodic Application Of Coconut Oil ?

Posted on 1 day ago
Question: Hello Doctor, I'm 41 yrs old and I have discoloration on the foreskin of my penis and below the penis head. This has been there for about 6-8 months now. On the foreskin, the discoloration is increasing slowly. Till now I have applied - Candid antifungal cream for 1 week and periodic application of coconut oil but there is no improvement so far.

A couple of years ago I had the same discoloration (smaller compared to now) and I had consulted a doctor who prescribed Fluconazole for 1 week, I applied but there was no improvement, after a while, I started applying coconut oil and it disappeared completely in a few days.

I've attached some pics, please advise.

Brief Answer:
Vitiligo

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photographs.
You have developed vitiligo.
It is an autoimmune disorder in which chemicals are formed in body which destroy pigment forming cells and hence there is discoloration.
Apply melgain lotion daily in night and ointment mometasone daily in morning.
Do this for 2 months for good results.
After 2 months stop ointment mometasone and continue applying melgain lotion for 6 months.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
