I'm really worried about my mom. She had submucous fibrosis a few years back and got it treated, but now it seems to be happening again with her skin. Do you think homeopathy could help with this condition? How long might it take for the treatment to be effective this time? It's just so frustrating that this problem keeps coming back.

Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic condition and usually there is no permanent cure for this condition. Treatment is aimed at improving mouth opening and identifying causes and avoiding them so that it does not worsen. She needs to be evaluated by oral surgeon for further treatment

I'm wondering if it's okay to use Glocin gel during the day. Is there any issue with going outside after applying it during daylight hours? Can I use it twice a day? I've noticed small bumps, rough skin, and some fine lines on my forehead. I'm a 45-year-old woman and I'd appreciate any advice.

Niacinamide is present in the cream whichnoxidises with sunlight hence it must be used as night cream and it helps for your condition.

I'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......
