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.

I'm really concerned because it's been a month since the skin on my penis has gotten super dry. Now there are cuts, and it's really painful. There's also a lot of irritation around the area. I've tried using coconut oil for moisture, and it helps, but only for a little while. Can you suggest any medicine or something that might help?

Can anyone tell me if Tugain 5 or Tugain 10 is better for hair loss and regrowth? I'm also curious about which one might have fewer side effects.

-For hair loss, **Tugain 5%** is generally preferred as it is effective with fewer side effects compared to **Tugain 10%**. Higher concentrations may cause more irritation, so start with the 5% version unless advised otherwise by your doctor.

I've been using Cloben G for treating pimples for about six months and decided to stop it recently, but now my face is super itchy with small red bumps. Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
