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?

I'm dealing with a really intense burning feeling between my upper thigh and groin area. There's no rash or redness, but I've already tried using clotrimazole powder and washed the area with Savlon, and it's not helping at all. This happened a few weeks ago too but went away after I applied the powder. Now it feels way more severe and there's barely any relief. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

candid cream for local application , tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient..

I've been using BETNOVATE CREAM regularly for my skin, mostly for fairness and acne, and I'm starting to wonder about the long-term effects. My family doctor mentioned that I shouldn't use it so often. What are the potential side effects of continuing its use? Also, are there safer alternatives that I could consider?

Long-term use of Betnovate cream, a strong steroid, can cause skin thinning, increased acne, pigmentation changes, and may worsen skin issues over time. It's best to stop regular use and consult a dermatologist for safer options, like non-steroid creams, retinoids, or other acne treatments suited to your skin.
