Her vitiligo spreads with the enlarged lymph nodes and a stuffy nose and allergy symptoms all follow each other. Any advise? She s been tested for allergy and been seen by immunologis.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have vitiligo and swollen lymph node in the neck . In condition ' vitiligo' the melanin producing cell melanocyte dies due to certain factors which produce white patches .I would suggest you to :-
- Protect your skin from sun by applying sunscreen with SPF 50 .
- Soak psoralea seeds in ginger juice for three days . After three days rub them to remove there out covering , then dried then , The take 1 gram poeder with milk daily for 40 days . It is very effective .
- Apply turmeric powder mix with honey for 15 minuts daily.
Consult dermatologist for proper evaluation. Doctor may prescribe topical corticosteroids , vitamin D supplement, ginkgo biloba or drugs to suppress immune system. Doctor may also recommend procedure for your skin and lips like Light therapy, PUVA light therapy or skin graft . Swollen lymph nodes in neck seems to be most probably due to infection and inflammation .You can take a short course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, do warm compresses over the lymph nodes . If condition doesn't get well then consult ENT specialist .
hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
