I've got this persistent dry skin peeling just above my upper lip, and it's been quite annoying. I've tried using Cetaphil and some Vaseline petroleum jelly, but nothing's really working. Do you have any other suggestions or ideas on what might help? It's starting to worry me a bit.

I'm dealing with this really annoying pain right at my tailbone and on the skin around it, exactly where the upper part of the butt cheeks meet. It usually flares up when I'm lying on my back and puts pressure on that area. Honestly, it's been so painful that it's making sleep tough. I've had a bed sore just above that spot for years, but it sorta dried up. This new pain started about a week ago. I'm really confused about whether this is a skin thing or more of a bone issue. Who should I talk to? Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

I'm really worried about these dark spots on my face, they seem like melasma, and they're on both sides. I've heard about Melalite 15 cream, and I'm wondering if it's safe and effective to use for this? Is there a better cream you would recommend for treating melasma? I'm just trying to find the best way to deal with this.

I'm looking for a vitamin C serum that's good for acne-prone and oily skin. I really want something that can brighten my complexion but won't clog my pores. Any recommendations?
