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'm getting kinda worried because ever since I started using Depwhite and Xtralite cream at night, my skin's been super dry. Plus, when I apply Acnemoist cream in the morning, I notice a mild burning sensation. Do you have any idea how long these issues might last?

Yes you can use it no problem, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment

I've been dealing with some pretty bad itching around my tailbone and the upper part of my buttocks for the past 10 days. I've tried using Calamine, and it gave me a bit of relief but hasnt really solved the issue. Im starting to wonder if it might be a fungal infection. Do you think using an antifungal cream like Livafin could help with this? I'm just trying to figure out whats going on and how to get some relief.

Itching in the tailbone and upper buttock crevices can indeed be a sign of a fungal infection, especially if it has not improved with calamine lotion. You can try using an antifungal cream like Livafin (Terbinafine) twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the healing process.

Is there any surgery or treatment that can reverse white hair and bring back my natural black color? I started getting white hair when I was just 15, and now at 33, it's becoming more noticeable. I'm curious if there's a way to treat this and restore my original hair color.

No, there is no known surgery or treatment that can reverse white hair and restore the natural black color if the cause is genetic or aging. Once a hair follicle loses its ability to produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color, it will no longer produce colored hair strands. However, if premature graying is due to underlying health issues or nutritional deficiencies, addressing these factors may help to slow down or even reverse the process.
