Is the Mayi dusting powder safe for my 10-month-old baby? I'm wondering if it's okay to use the regular candid powder or if there's a specific version meant for infants. Can you provide me with more information about this?

-It's best to use a baby-specific Candid powder designed for infants, as it is gentler on their sensitive skin. Regular Candid powder may be too harsh for a 10-month-old and could cause irritation. Always consult your pediatrician before using any product

My lips have been super dry and sticky for the past two years, and the skin keeps peeling off. They're getting smaller and losing their shape it's really bothering me. Is there any treatment or surgery that could help fix this? I've been struggling with it for so long.

It's understandable that you're concerned about your lips. Persistent dryness, peeling, and changes in their shape can be distressing. While there isn't a single magic fix, there are treatments and lifestyle changes that can help improve your lip health and potentially reverse some of the changes you're experiencing.

I'm considering using Calosoft lotion as a moisturizer but I'm not sure if it's good for skin, especially since I have acne scars. Also, I'm trying to avoid any products with steroids. Is it safe to use? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
