I've been struggling with Exfoliative Cheilitis on my lips for the last 5 years and I'm really looking for some help. What can I do to treat this from the inside and the outside? I'm desperate to find a way to get rid of this condition. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

To treat it internally, you can try taking Vitamin B supplements to support lip health. Externally, you can apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Additionally, using a lip balm with sunscreen protection can help protect your lips from further damage. For internal treatment, you can take Vitamin B complex supplement daily. For external treatment, apply hydrocortisone cream on the affected area. Use a lip balm with sunscreen protection during the day to protect your lips.

Question

I'm 25 and starting to notice my hair turning grey, and it's really stressing me out. I tried CB 100 and KeraBlak tablets for about 3 months, but unfortunately, I didn't see any improvement. I'm feeling a bit lost about what I should do next. Is there something else you would recommend? Are there other reasons this could be happening at my age?

Question

I'm dealing with super sensitive skin and I've been trying out different creams. My neighbor suggested I try Skin Lite cream, and I've been using it once a day in the evening for about three weeks now. At first, everything was fine and my skin got a bit fairer. But during the second week, my face started getting irritated every time I washed it with Dove. Now, in the third week, I'm noticing some white patches on my face. Should I keep using the cream or is it best to stop?

Question

I've been taking Finasteride 1mg every day, but I'm still dealing with dandruff even though I'm using Scalpe Plus Shampoo. Could this be related to the change in seasons or is something else going on? I'm worried because it feels like I'm losing about 20 to 25 hairs daily. Can you help me understand what's happening?
