I've recently had rica waxing done on my hands and now I have these brown scars all over. It kinda looks like my skin got peeled off in those spots. Will this heal on its own, or is there something I should be doing to help it along?

View allI've been dealing with exfoliative cheilitis, and my lips are constantly dry and peeling. They even turn white when they touch water, which I think might be a side effect from some vitamin supplements I took, though I can't remember exactly which ones. I'm currently seeing a dermatologist, but I haven't noticed much improvement. Is this condition something that can be cured?
Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with acne and my doctor prescribed Tretin ISO 10mg capsules along with Acnelack face wash. I've heard a lot about the AHA Glow face wash though and I'm wondering which one would be better for my skin. Should I stick with Acnelack or try AHA Glow instead? I want to make sure I'm using the best option to help clear up my acne.
