I've been struggling with Exfoliative Cheilitis on my lips for the last 5 years and I'm really looking for some help. What can I do to treat this from the inside and the outside? I'm desperate to find a way to get rid of this condition. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

To treat it internally, you can try taking Vitamin B supplements to support lip health. Externally, you can apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Additionally, using a lip balm with sunscreen protection can help protect your lips from further damage. For internal treatment, you can take Vitamin B complex supplement daily. For external treatment, apply hydrocortisone cream on the affected area. Use a lip balm with sunscreen protection during the day to protect your lips.

I've been dealing with some pretty bad itching around my tailbone and the upper part of my buttocks for the past 10 days. I've tried using Calamine, and it gave me a bit of relief but hasnt really solved the issue. Im starting to wonder if it might be a fungal infection. Do you think using an antifungal cream like Livafin could help with this? I'm just trying to figure out whats going on and how to get some relief.
Itching in the tailbone and upper buttock crevices can indeed be a sign of a fungal infection, especially if it has not improved with calamine lotion. You can try using an antifungal cream like Livafin (Terbinafine) twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the healing process.

So I've been dealing with these pimple-like small bumps on my nose for about 4 years now and they're not like regular pimples since they don't hurt and never seem to disappear. Sometimes I get other pimples on my cheeks and nose but those usually clear up within a month or so. These other bumps are a different story - they're skin-colored, small, and seem more like cysts because they just won't go away no matter what facewash or scrub I try. My skin is pretty clear otherwise, but these tiny bumps are really bothering me. How can I get rid of them?
To help reduce the appearance of these bumps, you can try using a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel, applying a thin layer to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a salicylic acid cleanser, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, can help to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores. Remember to moisturize your skin regularly and use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. If these bumps persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
