I've had exfoliative cheilitis for 12 years where the entire layer of my upper and lower lips peels off, leaving them red and raw. My top lip is also covered in Fordyce spots. I've tried so many treatments tacrolimus, clobetasol, mometasone, calendula ointment, Sebamed lip balm but nothing helps. Even multivitamins didn't make a difference. When I tried leaving my lips alone without peeling, they got even more inflamed. The skin turns white when wet and peels daily. Dermatologists keep recommending creams, but none work. Are there any surgical options since topicals don't seem to do anything?
A proper clinical evaluation is needed to identify the exact issue

I've noticed this vertical black line that's appeared on my left thumbnail, and it's kind of worrying me. Some folks mentioned it might be due to a vitamin deficiency. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and what I should do about it?
The safe limit for alprazolam in a day varies depending on the individual, their medical condition, and the dosage form. Typically, the recommended daily dose ranges from 0.25 to 2 milligrams, taken 2 to 3 times a day . Taking 5 grams of alprazolam can be extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening. This is an excessively high dose that can cause severe symptoms, including respiratory depression, coma, and even death . Regarding drug interactions, alprazolam can interact with various medications, including paracetamol (acetaminophen). While paracetamol is generally safe to use with alprazolam, taking high doses of paracetamol can increase the risk of liver damage, especially when combined with other medications like alprazolam .
