I've been having this issue where my lips turn white when they get wet. It's been happening for about four months now. Every week, my lips peel off completely, and two days after the peeling, a white line forms between them. I've already seen a physician who gave me zevitlycored and meganeuron od plus tablets, but they didn't help. Then, I went to a dermatologist who recommended cinort gel and tacros cream. Those also didn't work, only giving me temporary relief. I even had a blood test done, and everything came back normal. I'm worried and unsure what to do next. Can you help?

this looks like cheilitis which is due to vitamin deficiency , consume balanced diet and more green leafy vegetables,and also stay hydrated, never scratch or try to peel it off.

I'm dealing with a really persistent fungal infection in my groin for the last couple of months. At first, I tried using fourderm cream, but it just made my skin lose color in that area. So, I went to a general physician who told me to stop that and start taking GRISOREM 250 twice a day. The itching hasn't gotten worse, but it hasn't really improved either, and now the infection is spreading. It's even reached my right armpit, and wearing jeans is becoming really uncomfortable. The skin in the groin area feels super sensitive, and the itchiness is pretty unbearable. There's a female dermatologist close by, but I'm kind of worried it'll be awkward because the problem is in my groin area. Seeing a male doctor would feel even more awkward. Is it a good idea to visit her? Or could I get a prescription through private chat? I've got pictures of the infection if that helps one shows how it looked after using fourderm, and the other is from today.

I've been dealing with this fungal infection on my neck for over four months, and it's really frustrating. I've been using Onabet for it, but instead of getting better, it seems to be getting worse. I'm starting to worry. Do you know any stronger medicine that could actually clear this up?

I'm getting married in 20 days and I've noticed my ear piercing holes are really small. Most earrings don't fit through them. Is there a safe way to make the holes bigger, or should I consider getting new piercings? Would love some advice.
