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.

View allI'm a 23-year-old woman dealing with really thin, dry hair and tons of split ends. My hairline has noticeably thinned, especially in the front, making my forehead look bigger. I really want to regrow some new hair. I've tried a bunch of things like Arish and Parampara hair oils, and even KeyaSeth, but nothing has worked. The thinning started around eight or nine years ago, probably because I was using way too much shampoo when I was younger. I used Amway shampoo every day back in 8th grade, and it really messed up my hair. I also tried onion juice and bhringraj oil, but that didn't help either. This summer has been especially bad with all the hair fall. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

I'm dealing with a pretty bothersome staph infection on my face in a few spots and I've got some Amoxicillin 500mg at home. I'm a bit worried and really curious if this is the right antibiotic to treat a staph infection. Can Amoxicillin actually help with this?
Amoxicillin is not typically used to treat staph infections. Staphylococcus bacteria can be resistant to Amoxicillin. For staph infections, antibiotics such as Dicloxacillin or Cephalexin are more commonly prescribed. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I had a leech bite on my toe about a week ago while I was hiking, and now it's still really itchy and the area feels hard. What kind of doctor should I consult about this? Are there any good home remedies I could try in the meantime to help with the itching and hardness?
