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.

Question

I'm dealing with dry skin, and I have this cream that I'm thinking about using on my face. Do you think it's good for preventing dryness? And is it suitable for daily use? What exactly is the purpose of this cream?

Question

I've noticed some dents or shallow holes on my pinky finger of the left hand and the index finger of the right hand. I was trimming my nails when I first saw them, and after looking it up, I found a term called nail pitting, which is linked to psoriasis and other skin conditions. This has really worried me because I don't have any skin disease or joint pain. Could this be nail pitting or something else entirely? I also have tiny dots on two other nails, but there's only one per nail, and they're not as noticeable as on the pinky and index. The online pictures of nail pitting show nails with lots of deep holes and no shine, which looks scary. My nails still look pretty shiny and not as extreme. Can you help clarify what might be going on here?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed a pimple-like thing on my scrotum sack. It's not painful or itchy, but it's been there for over three weeks now, and I think there's a sign that another one might be appearing. What do you think this could be? Should I be worried or get it checked out?
