I'm really worried about my mom. She had submucous fibrosis a few years back and got it treated, but now it seems to be happening again with her skin. Do you think homeopathy could help with this condition? How long might it take for the treatment to be effective this time? It's just so frustrating that this problem keeps coming back.

Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic condition and usually there is no permanent cure for this condition. Treatment is aimed at improving mouth opening and identifying causes and avoiding them so that it does not worsen. She needs to be evaluated by oral surgeon for further treatment

I'm experiencing some dryness on the tip of my penis and I can't figure out why it's happening. Do you have any advice or specific treatments I should consider to help solve this problem?

This can happen due to various reasons such as lack of moisture, friction, skin conditions, or infections. To treat this problem, you can use a moisturizing cream like Eucerin Aquaphor Healing Ointment. Apply a thin layer of the ointment on the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can also use an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra Antifungal Cream if there is any suspicion of a fungal infection. Apply the antifungal cream as directed on the packaging. Remember to keep the area clean and dry to promote healing.
