I've been dealing with exfoliative cheilitis, and my lips are constantly dry and peeling. They even turn white when they touch water, which I think might be a side effect from some vitamin supplements I took, though I can't remember exactly which ones. I'm currently seeing a dermatologist, but I haven't noticed much improvement. Is this condition something that can be cured?

My mom, who's 55, got a pimple on her neck last month. The doctor recommended a Mantoux test, and from the results, they mentioned she might have skin TB. The thing is, except for that pimple, she doesn't have any other symptoms of TB. I'm wondering if just one Mantoux test is really enough to diagnose TB, or should we be looking into more tests? And also, is skin TB something that's curable? Would love some guidance on this.

I've noticed a white substance forming on the shaft of my penis whenever I pull back the skin, and this has been happening for the last 6 months. Also, I've realized that the hair on my scrotum has turned yellow and become thicker. I suspect this could be trichomycosis pubis. Can someone help me figure out what's going on or suggest any solutions?

I've been noticing these red spots on my tongue for almost 10 months now. At first, there weren't many, so I kind of ignored it, thinking it would heal on its own. But now, it's spread all over my tongue, and I'm getting really worried. Could you please help me figure this out and what I should do next?
