I've noticed that the skin inside my mouth is peeling off in layers, but I dont feel any pain when it happens. It's kind of concerning, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Can anyone help me understand why this might be happening?

The peeling of skin inside your mouth, also known as oral mucosal desquamation, can be caused by various factors, including vitamin deficiencies (B12, iron, or zinc), oral lichen planus, mucositis, or irritation from dental work, mouthwashes, or certain foods; given the absence of pain, it's likely a benign condition, but consulting a dentist or oral pathologist for a thorough examination and guidance is recommended to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I've been using both Clearz Ultra and Clearz Max as suggested by my doctor. He mentioned stopping the Max cream after the course and then starting the Clearz Ultra. I'm supposed to use the Max cream on alternate nights for 15 days and then take a 15-day break. Can I use the Clearz Ultra with Kojic and Arbutin long-term, like forever? Is it safe to do that for dark spots? Also, if my pigmentation comes back, is it okay to start using the Max cream again regularly? About using Clearz Ultra at night for a long time, is that advisable? And with Max cream, does it make a difference if I put it on for just an hour or leave it all night? Usually, I just sleep with it on without washing it off. I'm really curious and a bit worried about how to handle this skincare routine. Could you help me understand what's safe and effective?
