I've been struggling with my lips being dry, chapped, and sticky pretty much all year round. It's honestly driving me crazy! Sometimes they're so dry that they hurt, and they're always sticky, which makes speaking really frustrating. I've even attached some photos. Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?

I've been dealing with a skin rash that's red and slightly inflamed on my inner thigh, and it's getting a bit annoying. I decided to try Betadine Ointment, but I'm not exactly sure how often I should be applying it or how long I should keep using it. Can you give me some advice on that?

You can apply Betadine Ointment on the affected area 1-2 times daily. Make sure to clean the area before each application. You can continue using Betadine Ointment for up to 7 days, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
