I've got this wound that healed, but now the skin around it has turned this dark black color and it's not going back to my usual skin tone. What could be causing this? Should I be worried? Is there something I can do to help it return to normal? It's been a little unsettling.

I've been diagnosed with rosacea about 5 months ago and I've been using lacto calamine lotion. The past few days I started putting coconut oil on at night because my skin gets pretty dry. My skin feels soft and there aren't any flakes, but I still get a few red patches when it's really humid. It's got me feeling pretty down and I'm wondering if I should just stick with what I'm doing. Also, does rosacea ever go away? I feel really depressed over this. What do you think?

I've had exfoliative cheilitis for 12 years where the entire layer of my upper and lower lips peels off, leaving them red and raw. My top lip is also covered in Fordyce spots. I've tried so many treatments tacrolimus, clobetasol, mometasone, calendula ointment, Sebamed lip balm but nothing helps. Even multivitamins didn't make a difference. When I tried leaving my lips alone without peeling, they got even more inflamed. The skin turns white when wet and peels daily. Dermatologists keep recommending creams, but none work. Are there any surgical options since topicals don't seem to do anything?

A proper clinical evaluation is needed to identify the exact issue
