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.

I've been on Sotret 20 mg for a month now, and I've just been diagnosed with thyroid issues. Do you think it's okay if I take Sotret at night and Thyronorm in the morning? I'm a bit worried about how these medications might interact.

There is no interaction between those two drugs,you continue them as your doctor advised.

I'm kind of worried because I've had this red spot on my arm for about two weeks now, and it's really itchy. It seems to be getting bigger, almost like a ringworm. Any idea what might be causing this, or what I should do about it?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've been dealing with this itching in my groin area for the last month, and it's really concerning me. There are red spots, and the skin's turned a darker color. I tried using betnovate n cream to help with the itch, but it hasn't worked at all. Sometimes I even get red lumps. What do you think this could be, and how should I treat it?

That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.
