I've been dealing with this rough skin inside my mouth and inner lips, and it's starting to worry me. I'm making sure to stay well hydrated and take care of my oral hygiene, but this issue just won't go away. It's affecting both the inside of my cheeks and my lips. Can you offer any advice on what might be causing this and how to get rid of it?

Peeling of oral mucosa can be caused due to irritants. These may include overly acidic or spicy foods, harsh toothpastes or smokingdrinking. You can modify your diet to include softer ingredients and try changing your toothpaste. If the problem still persists, you should consult a physician.

View allI've been a bit anxious about my recent test results. My p24 for HIV-1 came back negative at 45 days, and the HIV-1 and 2 antibody test was also negative at 50 days. Should I still be considering any further checkups or follow-ups? I'm trying to make sure I'm not missing anything and would really appreciate your advice.
It is unlikely that you have been infected with HIV. However, it is generally recommended to confirm these results with another test after 90 days to be completely sure. No further checkup is needed at this time.

I'm really worried about my wife's finger. A few months back, she got this tiny hole on the tip, and it hurt to touch, with a small circular thing forming there. The doctor told us to use a corn cap for a week, and that took away the pain and some side skin, but that circle's still hanging around with a tiny dot, just like it was several months ago. We don't see anything stuck in there, so were confused about whether to try the corn cap again or should we consider getting it removed surgically. Could you give some advice on what might be best to do?
Use the same corn cap again for a period of 2 weeks,it will fall off completely,and use soft heel footwera

I'm wondering if applying Glocin during the day is safe. Will it cause any pigmentation if I'm exposed to sunlight or even just the light from a normal tubelight? Really need some guidance here.
Glocin is a brand name for the drug Mometasone. Mometasone is a topical corticosteroid used to reduce skin inflammation. When applied during the day, it is generally safe to use. However, prolonged exposure to sunlight or artificial light like tubelight can increase the risk of skin pigmentation. It is advisable to use sunscreen with a high SPF during the day to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
