How it looks at the moment. Please don't talk about my pubic hair.

It's been over a year since I posted about the traditional medicine I was using for my vitiligo. It's funny how I intended to use this thread to track the progress of the disease but failed to post for more than 12 months.

The thing is that I stopped using the traditional medicine about 4 weeks later when I exhausted the medicine. There wasn't any sign that the thing was working so I didn't bother to get a refill. This experience means I will continue to doubt traditional medicine.

Earlier this year I decided to seek proper medical care so I visited a dermatologist around March or so. We talked about the condition; the cause, the treatment options and the rest. He prescribed dermovate and hydrocortisone for me to be used for 4 weeks after which I was supposed to return to him to check the progress.

There wasn't much change after 4 weeks so when I went there he added meladinine to the regimen. I couldn't get meladinine at that time and I haven't made any effort to relook and I've also stopped using my dermovate and hydrocortisone. This lack of compliance with treatment is because the disease is not life-threatening.

However few months ago I began to notice little repigmentation in some areas. This got me hopeful and excited and I have been planning to resume using dermovate (the more potent one). Being a lazy person I didn't restart it until today.

I plan to try by best and use the drug religiously and see how it goes. I hope that by June next year there would be a really significant recovery.

So, I've decided to use this thread as a means of tracking the progress of my treatment. I was started on a herbal medication two days ago; Wednesday, August 3rd.

This is my mom's idea. I told her it's a sickness called vitiligo that has no cure but she insisted I see the herbal guy. Main reason being that the guy cured her of a disease that was eating her tummy up. She had tried all sorts of white man's medicine in futility. But this guy gave her a herbal medicine that cure her of the ailment. It's my mom and I was aware of that injury in her tummy. But when she showed me the area all that was left was scars that remained after the wound had healed. This convinced me.

I don't really trust traditional medicine guys. I respect them but I am more of evidence-based medicine. But now that I have this and don't have access to conventional medicine just yet it's a perfect time to find out if these guys really know what they are doing. If it works it means we found a cure for vitiligo and scientists are not omniscient after all. If it doesn't then there's really no cure for vitiligo and someone is a fraud.

I don't know how long I'm supposed to use this before expecting the desired result. I think four weeks should be enough. The medicine is grounded and mixed with pap and cream for drinking and rubbing, respectively. I started using it two days ago like I said earlier so today is day 3 of using it.

I'm kind of excited. I feel like I'm doing an experiment more than undergoing treatment.

But I hope this thing doesn't appear on my face before I get done with it though. The only reason I'm still calm is because the patches are so far located in a concealed region.

It could be an allergic reaction from the clothes you wear or where you sleep or your diet.
But why you no dey shave?

How do I stop it?

How my vitiligo has progressed without treatment.

Freestainworld:
Vitiligo, Its usually genetic, check your family blood line.

Nobody has it in my family

Which kind wahala be this na ahh

thorpido:
Unfortunately,it has no cure but some treatments can help to slow the spread.Some of these treatments will include use of topical creams and use of steroids and immunosuppressive drugs.
You should see a dermatologist.

Hmmmm. Thanks

thorpido:
You have vitiligo.

Are you serious? What can I do about it?

I'm losing pigment from my skin when I'm not even using any cream(not even Vaseline), could this be a disease?

The skin of the lower part of my abdomen is getting depigmented. What started as a single tiny spot just lateral to my navel is spreading and I now have many yellow spots including in my pubic area.

I also noticed that the hairs in the changed areas are turning grey.

This thing appeared few months ago. I didn't take it seriously at first because I thought it would disappear but it keep spreading. Please help I'm seriously worried right now

Nah. Just getting ready

When applying for Agbami scholarship can someone use certificate of state of origin instead of local government certificate of identification?

Anybody who has an idea should please help me.

thanks sir

Somebody please

Please what's the difference between state certificate of origin and local government letter of identification?

I have the state certificate of origin but I have not even seen the other document before and I don't know whether they can serve in place of each other.

Please somebody should shed light on this and their role in scholarship application. Thanks

mathefaro:
we know that
Sin²x + Cos²x = 1
Hence cos²x = 1 - Sin²x
Therefore, the LHS of the equation can become sqrt(Cos²x) = Cos x = RHS

thank u sir

Please help on this

It has to do with air in the lungs. If the air in the lungs doesn't escape, the corps will sink, but as the air escapes, it keeps the corps afloat.

Now when the body had sunk down the sea, air is still in the lungs and can only escape when the body starts decomposing.

When decomposition starts, the air can now escape and gases are released in the body, now as a result of the escape of air, the body will start rising back to the top and could be seen floating.


More reason you see people holding their breath while swimming and keeps releasing it little by little to keep afloat.


Back to the physics[b]there is no equation for this[/b]Just explanation.

" When enough gas has formed to inflate the tissues and distend the skin,the body becomes lighter than water, which makes the body rise to the surface."

No equation to represent the quote above.

But the man demands a mathematical expression. It's an assignment please

.

When a body floats it means the upthrust is greater than the weight of the body acting downward i. e W<U.
But when the weight is greater than upthrust the body sinks i. e W>U.

Now here is the question..... When someone drowns, the body sinks down the sea then after a couple of days like four the body floats at the surface of the river. That means day 1 the body sinks, day 4 the body floats. Then What happens between day 1 and day 4 when the body is neither at the floor nor at the surface i. e W=U?

I don't know if my explanation is clear enough. Somebody should please help.
