How to get rid of discolored patches on my hip?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 59-year-old female. I have discolored patches on my hip that just recently developed. Within the last month, I have had CT stomach, routine blood work, X-ray but they all returned normal. I do have chronic stress and I have been constantly losing weight and usually go to pass stool two sometimes three times a day. The stool is usually semisolid and there is frothy pale yellow liquid in it. I am not sure what is causing this discoloration, but I am really concerned.

There are a number of causes of pigmentation, but you have not provided a picture to look that what type of pigmentation you are having. In my opinion, send a picture or see a doctor physically. Also, inform if other sites are also involved. Causes include drugs, diabetes, malignancies, idiopathic, post inflammatory, hepatitis, etc.

Please apply 1 % Hydrocortisone cream two times a day for a week. And apply Vaseline lotion at night. Do not apply any antiseptic. Try to sleep on a soft mattress as you are having difficulty in sleeping well. It looks post an inflammatory lesion and hopefully, it will resolve within a week or so. It looks superficial in appearance.

Well, in my opinion, your hair loss is due to your chronic problem of anxiety, and lack of sleep is also due to stress. Moreover, you also complain of frequent passing of stool and which results in decreased absorption of nutrients. And this stool problem also gets increases due to stress. So, try to avoid stress as much as you can. As all your problem are interlinked with stress, I suggest capsule Perfectil Plus for two months. Apply coconut oil two times a week.
