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 Panderm NM cream for the past six months, and I'm really worried about stopping it. Can you help me figure out a way to stop using it without dealing with any side effects? I'm just not sure how to transition off it safely.

It is not recommended to abruptly stop using Panderm NM cream as it may lead to withdrawal effects or rebound symptoms. It is advisable to gradually taper off the use of this cream. You can start by reducing the frequency of application and then eventually stop using it. Additionally, you can switch to a milder steroid cream like Eumovate cream for a smoother transition. Consult your healthcare provider for a proper tapering schedule and further guidance.

I'm really worried about the hair loss I'm experiencing, especially since it's getting thinner and falling out more at the sides of my forehead and the center of my head. A local dermatologist recommended I try using Fultress F solution, but now I'm confused about whether to choose the Fultress F 10 or 5 solution. Can you help me figure out which one might be better for my situation?
