I've noticed that the left side of my upper lip has become really dry and chapped, and the skin is even starting to peel off. I've tried using coconut oil, ghee, and Vaseline to help, but it still hurts a little. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

Question

I'm dealing with a water allergy, and it's causing me a lot of discomfort every time I take a bath because I get really itchy all over. My doctor prescribed Althrocin 500 for this, but I'm not sure if that's normal for treating something like this. Is there something else I should be aware of, or any other treatments I might need to consider?

Question

I've got a lump between my thumb and index finger from an injury I got while playing cricket. A ball smacked right into my thumb, jamming it pretty hard, which left my hand swollen for over a week. The swelling finally went down, but now there's this hard lump in the webbing that still really hurts even with just a slight touch. It's been more than a year and I've tried icing it, but there's been no improvement. What should I do?
