Holistic approach. My skin lesions were a manifestation of internal stress. The medicines worked wonders and my lesions almost disappeared within a week. I was able to sleep and my stress was low. Discolouration was very mild and I’m still taking medicines to ensure the lesions don’t recur. Thank you Dr Sheetal
