I've been having some serious lip problems recently. It started about a week ago with pain on my lips, and things have only gone downhill from there. Even though I've been staying hydrated, taking antihistamines, and using Vaseline religiously, my lips are now dry, constantly sore, and have a yellow crust on them. There's also been some itchiness inside my mouth, which I'm not sure if it's related to oral allergy syndrome or if it's something else brewing. This itchiness popped up even when I hadn't eaten anything recently, which makes me suspect it might be something else. I'm really concerned and looking for some guidance on what could be happening and what steps to take next. What do you think I should do?

I'm really concerned about my skin pigmentation. I've been using a skin shine cream for about a month now, and while it did make my skin look paler, once I stopped using it, I noticed the pigmentation came back. Is it safe to continue using this cream for a longer period? Or is there a better way to handle this so my skin doesn't keep reverting when I stop?

I'm really worried because I recently moved to Hyderabad and my hair's been falling out a lot. I heard it's because the water in my apartment is really hard, from bore water. I put in a shower filter and used it once, but my hair is still falling out like crazy when I comb it. What else can I do to stop this or at least fix the damage? Can you help?
