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 had this pimple on my cheek for a few days, and now the area around it, like an inch or so, is swollen, red, and a bit painful. Could you tell me what might be going on and any recommendations for treatment?
The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated

I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my inner thighs for the past four months. I've tried using candid cream, but I haven't noticed any improvement. Is there something else I should try, or do I need to see a doctor in person about this? I'm kind of worried it might get worse.
Consider consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment, as persistent fungal infections may require oral antifungals, topical creams like clotrimazole or terbinafine, or other treatments, and make sure to keep the affected area clean, dry, and well-ventilated.
