I've had these burns on my face from hot oil spills for about two months now, and the marks just aren't going away. I've tried different creams, but nothing seems to work. What should I do?

For the marks left on your face, you can try using a cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can also use a cream with tretinoin, such as Retin-A cream, to help improve the texture of the skin.

I'm really struggling with exfoliative cheilitis that I've had for about 12 years. The entire layer of skin on my upper and lower lips keeps peeling, and it's so sore and red underneath. I've got loads of Fordyce spots on my top lip too. I've tried attaching some pictures of my lips before. Nothing seems to work. I've tried almost every medication - tacrolimus, clobetasol, mometasone, Calendula ointment, and even Sebamed lip balm. None of these topical treatments have made any difference. I even went through a multivitamin course, hoping it would help, but no luck. I tried leaving my lips alone without peeling them, but that just made things worse, with them becoming more inflamed. The skin turns white when it gets wet and peels every day. I've seen many dermatologists who've prescribed creams, but nothing has worked so far. Is there any kind of surgical option that might help since the treatments just aren't doing anything?

I'm dealing with a persistent allergy to the parthenium plant, as indicated by my skin test report. Even though I've stayed away from these plants and there's none around my house, I'm still experiencing facial allergies. I've been using steroid creams and tablets, but the allergy keeps coming back once I stop them. Is there a tablet or an injection available that could help me manage this parthenium plant allergy more effectively? It's becoming quite frustrating.
