I've noticed my upper lip has this uneven, really light white discoloration, almost like it's lost pigment. It's making me a bit worried. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm dealing with really itchy, dry, and flaky skin, mainly around my joints. It also gets red and sometimes even oozes if I scratch too much. Do you think soframycin could help calm these symptoms, or is it better to look for a different treatment? I'm trying to figure out how to manage it better.

I'm 27 and dealing with severe male pattern baldness, and now I've got dandruff too. I'm wondering if I can use minoxidil 5% solution even though I have dandruff. I'm thinking of shaving my head and starting with a dandruff shampoo, and then maybe using minoxidil after a couple of weeks. But I'm worried about any severe side effects this solution might have on my body. Is it safe to use?
