I've been using lip balm, but it doesn't seem to help with the chapping on my upper lip, which even extends upwards. I'm also noticing dry and white patches forming. What could be causing this, and how can I treat it?

View allI'm really worried about some hypopigmented spots on my skin. I came across a picture online that looks a lot like what's happening with me. Do you think using Whitcare skin cream could help with this? Also, someone mentioned aloe vera might be useful for hypopigmented skin. Is that true? Would love to get your insight on this.
Whit-care skin cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone which can be helpful in treating hypopigmented skin. It is important to use it under the guidance of a dermatologist to avoid any side effects. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area once daily at night. Aloe Vera can be beneficial for hypopigmented skin as it has moisturizing and healing properties. It can help improve the overall health of the skin and promote pigmentation. You can apply pure aloe Vera gel directly to the affected area twice daily for best results.

I've had this white mark on my skin where I used to place a bindi, and it's been there for about a year. I stopped using the bindi because I thought the glue might be causing it, and switched to sindoor, but that didn't help either. The white spot has grown and now it itches, so I can't even use sindoor or tika on it. I'm 60 years old and I'm worried about what this could be. Could you please advise?
That could be due to allergy,visit dermatologist for appropriate management because that might need nourishing moisturiser and steroid based lotion

I've been struggling with acne vulgaris for quite a while now. I've been using Screen 70, Zyclin Nanogel, and Adalene Nanogel for a year, but I haven't seen much improvement. Do you think cutting out dairy could help? And is Skinlite cream a good option for dealing with acne scars?
