I recently visited a doctor because I've been struggling with dandruff and hair fall. She recommended I use Beprogel on the affected spots, but my dandruff seems to be all over my scalp. Is it okay to apply Beprogel to my entire head?

I've had this splinter stuck in my finger for around 5 months now, and no matter how hard I try, I can't find it or get it out. Now there's this hard bump that's super sensitive and sometimes painful when I press on it. There's this one spot that's particularly tender, right where the splinter originally was. I've cut away dead skin and tried to find it so many times, but this bump just keeps coming back after about a week. What should I do about this?

I'm noticing a white line around my upper lip and I'm not sure why this is happening. Do you have any idea what might be causing it or if there's a way to treat it? Would love some guidance on this.
The white line around your upper lip could be a condition called angular cheilitis, which is often caused by fungal or bacterial infection, nutritional deficiencies, or excessive saliva accumulation at the corners of the mouth. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole twice daily for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area dry and applying a barrier cream like Vaseline can help. If the condition persists, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
