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 31-year-old who's been dealing with some skin issues, and I'd love some insight. A few weeks ago, I started experiencing itching around my penile area and scrotum, especially on my thighs. The skin there turned darker and dry, with white patches appearing because I couldn't stop scratching. I tried using CandidB cream regularly, and it helped initially, but then I noticed a bump on my foreskin, which disappeared after applying the cream. Now, Ive cut down the CandidB to about three times a week, but my main concern is that my foreskin is super dry, slightly inflamed, and seems really thin. This just started a day ago, after having sex with my wife. I've tried using coconut oil and even Vico turmeric, but it hasn't improved. I'm also diabetic, which might be a factor. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the genital area, which is common in individuals with diabetes. I recommend you stop using candid-b cream as it may be contributing to the thinning of the skin. Instead, you can try an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear made of cotton, and avoid any irritants like scented soaps or lotions. Since you are diabetic, it's important to keep your blood sugar levels under control as high blood sugar can contribute to fungal infections. Make sure to monitor your blood sugar regularly and follow your diabetic management plan.

I've been struggling with continuous hair fall for the past four years, and I'm really concerned about what's happening. I even consulted with Dr. Batra for a couple of years and tried professional treatments, but nothing seems to be helping. What could be going wrong? I'm looking for some guidance on what I should do next.
Hair fall can be due to various reasons such as genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical conditions. In your case, since you have already tried treatments without success, I recommend trying minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) twice daily on the scalp. Additionally, you can consider taking finasteride (brand name Propecia) 1mg daily to help with hair regrowth. It is important to use these medications consistently for at least 6 months to see results. Make sure to consult a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.
