I've been dealing with exfoliative cheilitis and my lips are really damaged - even had surgery but it didn't fully help. What kind of cream would you recommend for healing the skin?

For exfoliative cheilitis, consider using tacrolimus ointment, petroleum jelly, or lanolin-based creams. Avoid lip licking and maintain hydration.

I've been having some hair fall issues, so my doctor put me on these B12 supplements. But after about two weeks, I started getting really bad reactionslike rashes and acne on my hands and face. I stopped the supplements immediately, but it's been over a week, and my acne is still there and hasn't improved at all. Should I be doing something specific to help with this, or will it just clear up on its own eventually? I'm kind of worried and not sure what to do next.
