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've been to the dermatologist yesterday and she prescribed me a number of medications. I took them this morning, but then I started experiencing loose motions. I took HHAZI 500 MG, BECOSULE, and ALECLOZ. Is this normal? Should I be concerned or do I need to do anything about it?
