I'm really struggling with exfoliative cheilitis and it's causing a lot of damage to my lips. I've heard that surgery might be an option, but I'm not sure if there are any effective creams I should try first. Could you please let me know what might help?

I'm curious about using Abzorb dusting powder regularly. Is it safe for everyday use? If not, what powder would you recommend that's safe for daily application?

Abzorb dusting powder is generally safe for everyday use, but for long-term daily usage, consider switching to a gentle, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic powder like Johnson's Baby Powder or Cetaphil Dusting Powder to minimize skin irritation risks.

I'm dealing with this issue where my palm is getting darker, and a dermatologist mentioned it's hyperpigmentation. I've already tried medications from two different specialists, but it hasnt helped at all. I used to stay up really late for about 6-7 years, around 12 years ago. Im also a vegan. Could any of these be related to whats going on with my skin? I'm really curious about what else I can do to sort this out.

Hyperpigmentation of palms occur because of various causes like deficiency of vitamin B12, Addison's disease , malabsorption syndrome etc. So you need some investigation to exclude these conditions. Meet a dermatologist. Start vitaminB12 supplements.

I've been dealing with a really intense hair fall issue recently, and it's freaking me out a bit. About two months ago, I had dengue fever, and just about a week ago, I started losing a lot of hair, like 70 to 80 strands a day. I'm not sure if it's related, but it's really concerning. Could this be connected to my dengue fever? What should I do about it?
