I'm having these rashes and itches on my face, especially where I shave. Sometimes there's this burning sensation. It's been going on for over 10 years now, and I've tried so many medicines, but nothing seems to work. Some doctors said it's an allergy from my hair oil. Others think my skin's just really dry and sensitive. Plus, I'm dealing with hair fall and itching in my scalp too. Any advice on what could be going on or what I should try next?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

I've been dealing with this issue for quite some time, where my lips need Vaseline almost every 15 minutes. If I skip applying it, my lips get dry, sore, and really irritating. It's starting to affect my daily life and I'm not sure if a doctor could offer any help for this. Is it just me or is there something I can do to fix it?

Dry lips would be result of vitamin deficiency or dehydration,rule out appropriate cause and use moisturizer often,don't hurry to move.

I'm trying to figure out which scar gel works best in the shortest amount of time. I've come across Mederma scar gel and Scae end silicone gel. Could you please recommend which one might be more effective for quicker results? I'm really looking for something that works fast.

I recommend using Mederma scar gel. Apply a thin layer of Mederma gel on the scar 3-4 times a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement.
