Question

I've had this white patch on the back of my shoulder for about 20 days and it's turned black after I used melanocyl ointment. It's peeling like dry skin now, and sometimes it itches, though it doesn't really hurt. The skin feels a bit sensitive. Can someone help me figure out what's going on and how to treat it?

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?

Question

I'm dealing with some intense vaginal itching and already tried mustard oil, but it didn't help at all. I'm wondering what else I can do. Is it okay for me to try using Calosoft or Caster NF? I'm really anxious to find something that works.

Question

My relative had a hot oil spill accident and burned 25% of her legs. It's been 15 days since she's been in the hospital, and we're really worried about how long it'll take for her to recover. Can you give us some idea of the recovery time? We're feeling pretty panicked about this.
