I'm experiencing this weird issue where the inside of my mouth, like my cheeks and gums, feels really rough and kind of like sandpaper. There's also this wrinkly texture going on. It's been happening on and off for about five months now. Any ideas on what's going on or what I should do about this?

You may be experiencing symptoms of dry mouth and oral mucositis. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try using Biotene Oral Balance Gel. Apply a small amount of the gel to the affected areas in your mouth 4-5 times a day, especially before bed. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. If the symptoms persist, consult with your dentist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm allergic to Dettol and Savlon and whenever I use them on my skin, I get rashes and red spots. A few days ago, I had a skin prick allergy test and they cleaned my skin with something that probably had the same ingredient, so I've ended up with really itchy red rashes and spots on both my forearms. Do you think this could be causing a more severe reaction? How should I treat these rashes, and is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again in the future?
This is quite rare.. But you are allergic to antiseptic solution itself.. So should avoid it.. Check if you are allergic to soap or not?? Some people are allergic to different things.. Whenever you go to hospital you must open up about this allergiec history......

I'm really worried about my skin recently. I had treatment for ringworm last month, but now I've noticed bristles near one of the spots where the ringworm was. This has been happening for the past two weeks. Could this be related to a condition like harpics disease? I'd really appreciate some guidance on what I should do next.
If so, please help me out. It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection known as tinea corporis, which is commonly referred to as ringworm. The presence of bristles near the ringworm spot could indicate a recurrence or incomplete treatment of the fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Remember to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I've been using a fair soap with ingredients like Liquorice extract, Aloe Vera, Vitamin C, Apple juice, and Tamarind extract. I'm worried there might be some side effects from it. Can you tell me if using these ingredients on my skin might cause any issues?
No there are no such recoreded side effects if that soap suits your skin you can continue it.
