I've noticed that my arms are darker compared to the rest of my body, which has been bothering me. I've tried using body lotions, homemade scrubs, and cucumber juice masks, but they only seem to work temporarily. I'm looking for something effective to help even out my skin tone. Plus, I have sensitive and slightly dry skin. Any advice on what could work for me?

To help even out your skin tone and address sensitivity and dryness, I recommend using a skin-lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. You can try using "Meladerm" cream twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, incorporating a moisturizer like "Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream" can help hydrate your skin and improve its overall texture. Remember to apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from further darkening.

View allI'm experiencing this weird issue where the inside of my mouth, like my cheeks and gums, feels really rough and kind of like sandpaper. There's also this wrinkly texture going on. It's been happening on and off for about five months now. Any ideas on what's going on or what I should do about this?
You may be experiencing symptoms of dry mouth and oral mucositis. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try using Biotene Oral Balance Gel. Apply a small amount of the gel to the affected areas in your mouth 4-5 times a day, especially before bed. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. If the symptoms persist, consult with your dentist for further evaluation and management.

I'm having issues with my tongue the skin is peeling, it's really painful, and I can't eat anything. Could you recommend any medicine for this? Do you think those Vitamin C chewable tablets would be helpful?
Could be due to a condition called oral mucositis. Vitamin C chewable tablets may not directly help with this issue. I recommend using a topical oral gel containing a local anesthetic like lidocaine to help with the pain and a mouthwash containing a mild antiseptic like chlorhexidine gluconate to prevent infection. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for pain relief. If the symptoms persist, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
