I'm a bit worried because my serum globulin level came back low at 2.8 in my recent liver function test. The normal range is listed as 3.0-4.8. Everything else in my liver profile seems okay, but I'm experiencing some issues like loss of appetite, flaky skin, dry skin rashes, hair fall, and even dents in my nails. Could the low serum globulin be the cause of these symptoms? I'm really curious about what's going on.

I've noticed that I lose about 20 hairs every day after I take a bath and when I pull on them a bit. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal part of hair shedding? It's been on my mind lately, and I just want to make sure everything's okay.

I've noticed these tiny white spots on the inner part of my upper lip since April. They're not itchy or painful, but they're definitely there, and I don't exactly like how they look. I'm wondering if these could be Fordyce spots? If so, can you recommend any medicine or treatment for them?

The tiny white spots on your upper lip are likely Fordyce spots, benign ectopic sebaceous glands; while they are harmless and don't require treatment
