I'm really worried because half of my lower lip has turned pink and it looks pretty ugly. I don't smoke or anything, so I'm confused and concerned about what's going on. Can you help me figure out why this might have happened and if there's a way to fix it permanently?

This change in color could be due to a variety of reasons such as an allergic reaction, infection, or even a vitamin deficiency. To address this issue, you can try using a lip balm containing hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation and restore the normal color of your lip. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and consider taking a vitamin B complex supplement to support overall lip health. If the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI'm really struggling with hair fall, and my hair has gotten so thin because of it. Are there any shampoos or oils you could recommend that might help? I've noticed that the hair on my forehead is getting sparser on both sides. I've even tried treatments from doctors, but they only seem to work while I'm taking the tablets. For hair regrowth, they suggested Himalaya Hairzone Hairfall solution, but I haven't seen any results. What can I do to stop the hair fall and help my hair grow back thicker?

I'm dealing with ringworm in my groin, forehead, and near my eye. The one in the groin has been particularly persistent since I got pregnant 8 months ago, and it's just not going away. I havent taken any oral meds because Im breastfeeding my 8-month-old. I've been using Terbinaforce Plus Cream and Fintop Ebernet, but I'm worried they're not enough. What can I do? Is there something else safer to try while nursing?
Ringworm (Tinea) can be challenging to treat, especially while breastfeeding. _Current Treatment_ Terbinaforce Plus Cream and Fintop + Ebernet are topical treatments that can help manage symptoms. However, the continuous presence of ringworm in your groin area suggests that the treatment might not be fully effective. _Additional Measures_ 1. _Maintain good hygiene_: Wash the affected areas with soap and water, and dry thoroughly. 2. _Change clothes and bedding regularly_: Prevent the spread of fungal spores. 3. _Avoid sharing personal items_: Towels, clothing, and other personal items can spread the infection. _Breastfeeding-Friendly Oral Medications_ Consult your doctor about oral medications that are safe while breastfeeding, such as: 1. _Griseofulvin_: An antifungal medication that can be used while breastfeeding. 2. _Fluconazole_: A single-dose oral medication that can be used to treat ringworm. _Consult a Doctor_ Schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss: 1. _Adjusting your treatment plan_: Explore alternative topical treatments or oral medications. 2. _Ensuring the infection doesn't spread_: Get guidance on preventing the spread of ringworm to other areas. Remember to consult your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan.

I'm worried about my mom's ringworm fungal infection and she's been using Dermotraid cream for it. I'm wondering, is that really the best option for treating this condition, or should she be looking at other creams?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
