I've been having some serious lip problems recently. It started about a week ago with pain on my lips, and things have only gone downhill from there. Even though I've been staying hydrated, taking antihistamines, and using Vaseline religiously, my lips are now dry, constantly sore, and have a yellow crust on them. There's also been some itchiness inside my mouth, which I'm not sure if it's related to oral allergy syndrome or if it's something else brewing. This itchiness popped up even when I hadn't eaten anything recently, which makes me suspect it might be something else. I'm really concerned and looking for some guidance on what could be happening and what steps to take next. What do you think I should do?

Question

I'm experiencing these red, rashy patches on my skin that are super itchy. I've been taking cetirizine, and it seems to help for a couple of days, but then the rashes and intense itching come back after 2-3 days. What could be causing this cycle? Is there something else I should be doing?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been recently diagnosed with DPN and even though my doctor said it's common, these raised moles are spreading everywhere and it's freaking me out. Is there any way to prevent them from spreading even more? It's really affecting my confidence and morale, and I just want to know how to stop them. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Question

I'm a 26-year-old guy living in Mumbai. I used to have a fair complexion, but after years of sun exposure and not really taking care of my skin, my face, hands, and neck have become visibly darker. If I stay indoors for a few days, my skin lightens up a bit, but I can't really do that since I have to work. My body's skin is quite fair, and with my wedding coming up soon, I want to get back to my old skin tone on my face and hands. Can you suggest any daily home remedies or maybe pills like glutathione for this? How safe is it to take glutathione? Are there any side effects, and how likely are they to happen? Also, if I start using it, would the skin tone change be long-lasting, or would I have to keep taking the pills to maintain it?
