Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I occasionally take alcohol like beer and eat junk food and I do not have a smoking habit.

Please do let me know the ways to control cholesterol.

Thank you.

I suggest you follow a few instructions mentioned below.

  1. Exercise regularly like walking, especially after dinner for 40-45 minutes.

  2. Do thread mill, and jogging in the morning.

  3. Avoid junk food.

  4. Eat homemade food with low oils and ghee (clarified butter).

  5. Take more raw salads.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I just have one line under the eye.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the image (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) you have attached.

This could be vitiligo and I doubt this is due to a cholesterol issue.

Is there any family history of vitiligo or any other part of the body having a similar patch?

Please reply with answers to the above.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

There is no family history of vitiligo. I am concerned if that will spread. Please help me with the treatment.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is hard to say anything at present whether it will spread or not. Common sites are the front chest, below breast fold (area between chest and stomach), thigh, axilla, etc.

Are you sure no other lesions elsewhere in the body and how long have you observed this?

Please reply me with answers to above.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I do not clearly remember from how long I have been observing this, but it was from long back.

Hello,

Welcome back to iclinq.com.

I would like to know the approximate time you have been affected. Thank you.
