Question

I'm experiencing some real trouble with my lips. They've been drying out and peeling every few days for about three months now. I've been using Tacrolimus, but nothing seems to be improving. It's really just my lower lip that's affected. It gets red, peels every third day, and any new skin that forms also dries out and flakes, especially when it comes into contact with water. It's starting to mess with my confidence. I think the problem started when I was experimenting with new lip balms. Could you help me figure out how to fix this? Having dry and flaky lips isn't aesthetically pleasing, and it's really starting to get me down.

Question

I've been using Betnovate N for the past 5 years, but I stopped about four months ago, and now my face is itchy and there's a lot of pigmentation. I've seen four dermatologists so far with no improvement. My skin is just not getting better, and I'm really frustrated. What should I do? Nothing seems to help with the itching and pigmentation.

Question

I've noticed some black lines appearing on a few of my fingernails over the past few months, and now they're on about two or three fingers. I'm pretty worried and curious about what this might mean. Can you shed some light on what could be causing these lines and how I might be able to treat them? I'd really appreciate any advice you can give.

Question

I'm trying to figure out if kojic acid cream is actually effective, and I'm also considering melaglow cream. I'm feeling a bit confused between these two options. Could you help clarify which one might be better?
