I've had white patches on my skin for about 10 years now and they're stable, not spreading. Thinking about getting surgery to treat them but worried if it'll leave scars on my face or the treated areas. Should I go for surgery or stick with medicines for better results?

I'm dealing with this skin issue I'm not sure how to explain it entirelyits something called "KaratMarathi" I think? I don't know what the English term for this disease is, but its like the blood freezes in a small circular area about the size of a coin. Its got a noticeable point and its showing up between my legs, like right below the private parts. Do you have any advice on what this might be or how I could treat it? I'm in the USA right now, so any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my daughter. She's been dealing with angular cheilitis for the past 15 days. We went to the doctor and he recommended using this cream called Activities, but it hasn't helped at all. In fact, she's now got some kind of allergic reaction, with small red spots near her lower lips and face. It's also itchy and painful. I read online that this cream shouldn't be swallowed, and I'm wondering if that's what's causing the issue since she might have accidentally ingested some. I'm not sure what to do next. Can you help us figure out what's going on and what steps we should take?
