I'm having some swelling and pitting in my left lower limbs, and it's been really bothering me. I've already done a sugar test, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. The venous scan suggested it might be cellulitis or edema. I'm a bit worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand what might be going on and what steps I should take now?

The swelling and pitting edema in your left lower limb, with scanning results suggesting cellulitis or edema, may indicate a vascular or infectious issue; consult primary care physician for further evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotics, compression therapy, and elevation.

Question

I've been using NilacA gel for three days and I'm noticing that my face looks kind of whitish now. Is this normal? I started using it for my pimples and I'm not sure if I should be worried about this change in skin color. Can you help me understand what's happening and if I should continue using it or stop?

Question

I'm really struggling with acne on my face and body. No matter what I do, it just won't go away. I've been trying persol forte cream but it doesn't seem to help, and the acne keeps popping up. Could you help me figure out what's going wrong or maybe suggest something else that might work better?

Question

I've been dealing with my lips peeling every day for the past 12 years, and it's really starting to worry me. After I shower, both my upper and lower lips turn white and peel, leaving the raw red skin exposed. I've seen multiple dermatologists, and they've suggested it's Exfoliative cheilitis, but none of the steroid creams or ointments they've prescribed have worked. I've even tried homeopathic and Ayurvedic treatments, but still no success. I can't help but think that maybe it's connected to my digestion or some inflammation in my body. Could you give me some guidance on what might be causing this and how I might be able to treat it?
