View allI'm really worried about my wife's stretch marks on her inner thighs. She's been using Stretchrid cream recommended by a dermatologist, but its only shown a little improvement. She took an Unwanted 72 contraceptive pill in September 2019, and she's noticed a small weight gain recently, which might be linked to the stretch marks. Can you suggest the right treatment or medication for this?
Retinoids can help improve the appearance of stretch marks by promoting collagen production and increasing skin cell turnover. She can try using Retino-A cream 0.05% once daily at night on the affected areas. In addition to topical treatments, she can also consider taking Vitamin E supplements to support skin health and elasticity. I recommend taking Evion 400mg capsule once daily after a meal. It's important to continue using these medications consistently and be patient, as it may take some time to see significant improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks.

I'm dealing with exfoliative cheilitis for 10 years now, and it's really tough. My lips peel every day, both top and bottom, in this really weird cycle. It leaves them super red and inflamed. I've tried steroid creams and other medications, but honestly, nothing seems to help. Is there something I'm missing or some treatment that could actually work?
You can apply a thin layer of Tacrolimus ointment 0.1% to your lips twice daily. Additionally, taking Vitamin B supplements can also help improve the health of your lips. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen.
