I've been dealing with burning and dry skin on my lips for a couple of months now. At first, I thought they were just chapped, so I tried using lip scrubs and chap stick, but nothing seems to help. I'm starting to worry, could this be a ringworm? How can I tell if that's what it is?

I've been struggling with ringworm for a year nowit just keeps coming and going. Every time I start on my medicines, it seems to get better, but when I stop, it just comes back after a few days. I'm taking ityza 100 mg twice daily and there's another one for allergy I take once a day. Plus, I'm using terbinafine cream. I'm worried and wondering why this keeps happening and what else I might be able to do to get rid of it for good. Any advice would be really appreciated.

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've been reading about the Yellow Peel treatment, and I'm wondering if the effects last permanently or if they're just temporary. Can it really get rid of pigmentation on the face for good?

Effects of Yellow Peel treatment are usually temporary. It can help reduce pigmentation on the face, but the results may not be permanent. To reduce pigmentation permanently, you may consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone or tretinoin, or undergoing laser treatments such as Q-switched Nd:YAG laser.
