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?

View allI've got a keloid on my chest and I've been told to use Betadine solution and then nadoxin ointment on it. After I clean it up with the Betadine, should I just go ahead and put on the nadoxin right away? Or do I need to rinse it with warm water before applying the ointment?
You can apply the nadoxin ointment immediately after cleaning with Betadine solution. There is no need to clean it with warm water before applying the ointment. Just make sure to gently pat the area dry after cleaning with Betadine before applying the ointment.

I'm noticing small pimples around the base of my penis, near where my pubic hair is. It's becoming quite painful and I recently had unprotected sex, so I'm starting to worry. It feels like boils are forming. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a genital infection, possibly due to a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or a bacterial infection. I recommend you to use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and take an oral antibiotic like Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 3 days. It's important to also practice safe sex and get tested for STIs to prevent future infections.

I've been dealing with eczema on my right leg since 2011, and it's been really frustrating. It itches all the time and the scratching has left these dark, patchy marks that just won't go away. It's dry eczema, and as far as I know, I'm not allergic to anything, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing it. It's only on my leg, and steroids and moisturizers haven't been helping at all. What can I do to cure it?
