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 really stressed out about these acne and small bumps that have been popping up on my face for the past two months. I've tried everything, but nothing seems to work. There's also some pigmentation near my chin, which is adding to my worries. With my wedding coming up soon, I desperately need a solution. Can you please help me figure out how to get rid of these acne and pimples?

I'm really worried about my wife's stretch marks on her inner thighs. She's been using Stretchrid cream recommended by a dermatologist, but its only shown a little improvement. She took an Unwanted 72 contraceptive pill in September 2019, and she's noticed a small weight gain recently, which might be linked to the stretch marks. Can you suggest the right treatment or medication for this?

Retinoids can help improve the appearance of stretch marks by promoting collagen production and increasing skin cell turnover. She can try using Retino-A cream 0.05% once daily at night on the affected areas. In addition to topical treatments, she can also consider taking Vitamin E supplements to support skin health and elasticity. I recommend taking Evion 400mg capsule once daily after a meal. It's important to continue using these medications consistently and be patient, as it may take some time to see significant improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks.

I'm using Bontress leave-on lotion and I'm really curious about how effective it is and how long it might take to help with my hair fall. I've switched from using Hair For You 10 because it seemed to cause more hair fall and I didn't want to keep using it forever. My hair growth seems okay, but the hair fall has increased with the previous solution, which is why I decided to try Bontress. Could you let me know how many days it typically takes to see a reduction in hair fall with this treatment?

Bontress leave-on lotion, containing saw palmetto, biotin, and keratin, may help reduce hair fall by blocking dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone contributing to hair loss; while individual results vary, some users report noticeable improvements within 2-4 weeks, with significant reductions in hair fall after 8-12 weeks of consistent use;
