Question

I'm dealing with exfoliative cheilitis for 10 years now, and it's really tough. My lips peel every day, both top and bottom, in this really weird cycle. It leaves them super red and inflamed. I've tried steroid creams and other medications, but honestly, nothing seems to help. Is there something I'm missing or some treatment that could actually work?

You can apply a thin layer of Tacrolimus ointment 0.1% to your lips twice daily. Additionally, taking Vitamin B supplements can also help improve the health of your lips. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen.

I've had these scales on my lower legs since I was a kid, and I also noticed my stomach and back skin is darker than the rest of my body. Is there any way to completely get rid of this?

Question

I'm really not sure what this thing is, but it's been there for almost a month now. It doesn't hurt too much, but sometimes it gets bigger and then other times it gets smaller. I'm just not able to make it go away. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I've been noticing that my lips have gotten quite dark recently, and it's starting to worry me a bit. I've heard that vitamin B12 might help with this. Is that true, and could you recommend a specific tablet or supplement that I should try for this issue? I'm really hoping to find a good solution.
