I've had this thing for more than a year now, and today when I pressed it, some dust came out. It doesn't hurt or anything, but I'm confused. I've shown it to a doctor before, and they mentioned it might be due to sweat gland dysfunction. But why is dust coming out of it? What's going on here?

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?

I had ringworm a while back, and though it's treated now, I'm left with some pretty noticeable scars. The ones on my butt are really dark, and I've got them on my back and midriff too. Is there a way to get rid of them completely in a few months? Are there any creams or treatments you would recommend for this?

You can use a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such cream is Tri-Luma, which should be applied once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can also consider using Mederma, which is specifically formulated to improve the appearance of scars. Remember to apply sunscreen during the day to protect the skin and prevent further darkening of the scars.
