I've had this dry patch on the upper right side of my lip for about a month now. It doesnt hurt or itch, but I can definitely feel the dryness. When I woke up this morning, I actually noticed it more and even took some photos. I'm curious about what this could be. Any ideas?

I'm dealing with some hair fall issues and started using Indulekha hair oil. I've heard that adding vitamin E capsules to hair oil might help, and I'm considering trying it. Can I mix vitamin E capsules directly into the Indulekha bottle and store it like that? If it's okay to do, how many capsules would you recommend for the whole bottle?

-Yes, you can mix Vitamin E capsules into Indulekha hair oil. For a standard 100ml bottle, 2-3 capsules should be enough. Use it regularly for better hair health, but remember to monitor for any irritation.

Over winter, I've noticed my skin tends to get a darker shade, even though I've usually got a fair skin tone. What do you think might be causing this? Plus, my skin gets pretty dry around this time. Could you recommend a moisturizer that isn't sticky but still brightens up my skin? Would love some advice on how to manage both these issues!

My 3.5-year-old has been dealing with these itchy hives all over their body that are really irritating. It seems to happen everywhere. What could be causing this, and how can we help soothe the itching? Are there any common triggers we should be looking out for?

You are suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. Common causes are food allergy, infection or drugs taken for some condition. It presents with itching resulting in formation of red rashes which we call hives or wheals. Although in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be treated with medicines so that you do not get any new hives. The treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 1 to 6 months.
