Question

I've been dealing with exfoliative cheilitis for around 6 years now, ever since I started taking some antibiotics, and it's been really tough. My lips get all flaky and dry, and the skin turns white when it hits water. There's even this white vermilion line forming where my lips touch. I'm really curious if there's any kind of treatment that can help with this. Any advice would be great!

Question

My wife came down with chicken pox back in late November, and we noticed the pox marks are fading, but it's happening really slowly. I'm starting to worry since it's been over two months now, and I'm not sure if these marks are ever going to completely disappear. Should we see a doctor about this, or is it better to just keep using coconut oil and let things heal naturally? We're just a bit concerned and would appreciate some guidance on what to do next.

Question

I'm really worried about some cuts and peeling skin on my penis. I had been using clobeta gm for a rash, but it started peeling and now the skin feels really thin. After a morning erection, the skin actually got tiny cuts. My doctor prescribed me lulimac cream, HTRZ, ATARAX Cap, and some antibiotics. The cuts aren't healing yet, and there's a light yellow-white fluid and some yellow stuff around the cuts. Do you think this is an infection? The doctor mentioned it might take 23 days to heal. Im feeling really anxious about it. Any advice on what to do while I wait?

Question

I'm a bit worried about this cut mark or stretch mark I have on my forehead from a road accident two years ago. I'm really hoping there's a way to get rid of it. Can you let me know if it's possible to remove it, and what kind of specialist should I be looking to see for this?
