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?

View allI'm dealing with multiple lipomas on both of my hands. I've spoken to dermatologists at APOLLO Hospital in Chennai and Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, and they advised me to just ignore them since they won't cause harm now or in the future. But honestly, I'm still quite worried, especially since they're growing in number and size. I'm a vegetarian, I don't drink or smoke, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to treat or manage these lipomas. Could you help me understand what my options might be?
Lipomas are usually harmless, but if they are increasing in number and causing concern, there are medications that can help reduce their size or prevent new ones from forming. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.

Hey, I'm thinking about trying a glycolic acid cream12 grams of itfor skin whitening. I've got brown, oily skin, so I'm wondering if it's safe for me to use this. Are there any side effects I should be aware of? Also, is it okay to use glycolic acid cream for a long time? Would love to get your advice on this!
Using glycolic acid cream for skin whitening on brown, oily skin can be effective. However, it is important to start with a lower concentration to avoid irritation. You can try using Glyco-A 12% cream for skin whitening. Possible side effects may include redness, irritation, and increased sensitivity to the sun. It is recommended to use sunscreen during the day when using glycolic acid cream. You can use glycolic acid cream for a long time as long as you follow the instructions and do not experience any severe side effects."
