I've been dealing with Melasma for about 45 years now, and it's really noticeable because of my fair skin. There are these dark patches on my cheekbones. I tried cosmo peel and laser treatments about two years ago, but they didn't help at all. A dermatologist suggested I use Triluma cream twice a week, so I've been trying it out for the past two weeks. My skin's started flaking and feels really dry, and whenever I put on my Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen, I get this burning, tingling sensation. Is this normal?

View allI've been dealing with jock itch for the past couple of years, and it's really frustrating because it keeps coming back and leaves scars. I'm using Amorolfine cream, Itraconazole capsules, and levocetirizine dihydrochloride tablets, as recommended by my doctor. But how can I get rid of these scars? Any advice on what might help?
To remove the scars caused by jock itch, you can consider using a topical cream containing Mometasone furoate along with Fusidic acid. Apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected area once daily for a few weeks. Additionally, you can also use a scar removal gel containing Allium cepa extract and heparin. Apply this gel on the scars twice daily for better results. Remember to continue using Amorolfine cream, Itraconazole capsules, and Levocetirizine dihydrochloride tablets as prescribed by your doctor for treating the jock itch.

I'm trying to manage my dandruff situation and heard about using diprovate plus lotion on the scalp. I'm just wondering, can I actually apply it directly to my hair like I would with regular hair oil? Is there anything else I should know while using it?
Diprovate Plus lotion is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including dandruff. To apply it to the scalp for dandruff, you should part your hair and apply a small amount of the lotion directly onto the affected areas of the scalp. Gently massage it into the scalp using your fingertips. It is important to avoid applying it to the hair shafts like regular hair oil, as it is specifically meant for the scalp. Use it as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily.

I've had exfoliative cheilitis for 12 years where the entire layer of my upper and lower lips peels off, leaving them red and raw. My top lip is also covered in Fordyce spots. I've tried so many treatments tacrolimus, clobetasol, mometasone, calendula ointment, Sebamed lip balm but nothing helps. Even multivitamins didn't make a difference. When I tried leaving my lips alone without peeling, they got even more inflamed. The skin turns white when wet and peels daily. Dermatologists keep recommending creams, but none work. Are there any surgical options since topicals don't seem to do anything?
A proper clinical evaluation is needed to identify the exact issue
